[00:00] In VLC [00:01] on VLC ... nothing just the bar indicator goes on the bar like its a 2 mins film or somthng [00:01] on any other player .... it displays a crappy msg abt aXXo and how he blablabla === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [00:02] What's the filetype? aXXo isn't necessarily a filetype, it's a nickname for this guy who rips DVDs and torrents them. If you downloaded one and it's not playing on VLC, it's probably a fake. Every aXXo movie I've seen has been DivX which VLC plays fine for me. [00:03] can 700 MB be a fake ? [00:03] B4S3M: Query me the link of where you got it. [00:04] And yes. For instance, some people download movies and are told to install a certain media player before they can play the movie. The certain media player is pretty much a huge trojan horse. [00:05] Which is why illegal downloads are bad :P [00:05] cant query .... cant identify ma self [00:05] Oh.

[00:09] B4S3M: After examining the file, it is indeed a fake. Members of the site where you got it have confirmed this. [00:10] confirmed wt ?

[00:13] open ksysguard from KMenu ->system [00:13] i mean, Phisical memory usage 800 MB of 1gb, and swap absolutely no usage [00:13] yes i watching over there [00:13] in there only the lowest band is actually used [00:13] the rest is cache and buffers [00:13] it'll be released if any app needs it [00:14] oh so when i will run like css or cod4, then priorityty will go on this game yeah? [00:14] yes [00:15] okey thanks so much, but what about gnome, there the same actions and usage still 200 mb? it just not realising, and giving only free memory to other apps? [00:15] anyway thanks so much \o/ [00:15] yeah, different apps report memory usage differently [00:16] oh key , very nice, thank you so much, Kkozeris!

[00:43] I will, but I can't right now [00:43] Schuenemann: http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-358.php [00:43] LjL-Mobile, what is the package name?

[01:01] yes [01:01] so you do nothave the kubuntu-desktop metapackage installed? [01:02] huh... I installed kubuntu [01:03] does anyone know of a program to convert wav to mp3? [01:03] nosrednaekim, you only need that metapackage if you install ubuntu, xubuntu or something else? [01:03] Schuenemann: its also helpful for upgrades. [01:03] shaffy: lame [01:03] nosrednaekim: i'm guessing that there is no GUI for, correct? [01:04] nosrednaekim, what will it do? [01:04] shaffy: audacity [01:04] shaffy, kaudiocreator has GUI [01:04] shaffy: kaudiokreator might work... [01:04] perfect, thanks guys. [01:04] Schuenemann: what will what do? [01:04] much appreciated. [01:04] nosrednaekim, what is kubuntu-desktop for? [01:04] doesn't kaudiocreator just rip CD's? [01:05] Jucato, it has an option for file, though I never used it [01:05] Schuenemann: it installed a bunch of reccomended packages that make up the desktop, and I *believe* that its helpful for upgrades [01:05] Schuenemann: it's a metapackage that makes sure the kubuntu default set of packages are installed, ensuring that the necessary packages are there, which makes sure that what needs to be upgraded is upgraded [01:06] I thought it was installed by default [01:06] although it's not 100% necessary when simply doing updates... but dist-upgrades to another version is another storry [01:06] Schuenemann: it is, until you remove a package that's installed by default :) [01:06] (like kaddressbook...) [01:07] well, I'll cancel my upgrade and install it then [01:07] is it worth? [01:07] hm... personally, I don't think it's necessary in this case.... [01:08] It turns out that grub made all /dev/md3 into /dev/md2 and this is not a kernel bug. It is related to the upgrade tough, and might be filed as a bug in itself. Also, the nvidia driver suddenly seems to be missing. [01:08] meh... I'll remove kaddressbook later then [01:11] i'm having issues with compiz-fusion and fglrx/aiglx in kubuntu 7.10. when i run compiz --replace compiz starts up fine and everything works well, but i can't move my windows [01:13] !libxine-extracodecs > ki4slw_ [01:14] Schuenemann: that package no longer exists in gutsy though... [01:15] it's superceded by libxine1-ffmpeg, or better yet, kubuntu-restricted-extras [01:15] k4ever: try asking in #compiz-fusion [01:15] hmmm [01:15] don't know if i should ask for help here, in #compiz-fusion, or #ati channel. i haven't had problems with an other distro. i'm using ati's latest driver [01:15] jucato: thanks will try there [01:17] After quite a bit of tweaking, I got dualhead to work on my dell latitude d620 laptop.. problem only is now that a) the laptop screen is 4:3 while the lcd screen itself is 16:9 format, and b) I have no more direct rendering.. so compiz isnt working either.. [01:17] I first used the "intel" video driver without problems, but this driver crashes in dual mode.. So Im using the "i810" driver now [01:18] but I dont have direct draw.. [01:18] does anybody have a clue on how to fix this one? [01:21] !intel [01:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about intel - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:22] unix_infidel, You available for a minute? [01:23] phoenixz: yea...sorry about earlier. [01:23] unix_infidel, NP.. [01:23] unix_infidel, Im just asking since you said you never had any problems [01:23] did acpi tools work for you? [01:23] apt-cache search *acpi* [01:24] with the wildcards [01:24] unix_infidel, right now, after lots of manual xorg.conf tweaking (yeah, got backups) [01:24] phoenixz: well did you try connecting the vga device. then doing a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? [01:25] unix_infidel, one sec [01:25] it should create a default xorg.conf for that setup. [01:25] unix_infidel, right now, after lots of manual xorg.conf tweaking (yeah, got backups) I got 2 monitors to work.. even the fn-F8 works (don't ask me how that worked, it suddenly did) [01:26] unix_infidel, problem is that Im having a few side effects [01:26] like? [01:26] unix_infidel, 1) I had to use the i810 driver, not the intel... dunno if thats a problem [01:26] but [01:26] with that [01:26] unix_infidel, first, my screen is 4:3 and not 16:9 as the laptop screen is.. I figure thats a resolution thing I can fix quite easily, im not too worried (yet) about it [01:26] phoenixz: i810 = intel chipset video driver. [01:27] How could I change file associations in firefox, (to open a file with a different program)? [01:27] unix_infidel, yeah, I know.. "intel" as well.. what are the differences? [01:27] phoenixz: nothing really. [01:27] unix_infidel, for one, the "intel" driver crashes on the config I have right now [01:27] (I'll paste it in a second) [01:27] just a chipset specific driver iirc. [01:27] unix_infidel, bigger problem is: no more direct rendering.. [01:28] unix_infidel, so no compiz [01:28] unix_infidel, i810 supports direct rendering? [01:28] phoenixz: yea, that's expected, compiz is fairly experimental. [01:28] unix_infidel, well compiz yeah, but on a lower level its not working either [01:28] unix_infidel, as in, when I do a glxinfo | grep direct I get this: [01:29] phoenixz: it seems after a quick google people are getting 3d rendering with i810. [01:29] direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose) [01:30] unix_infidel, so how can I find out why direct rendering is not working in this case? [01:30] no idea. [01:30] I usually dont mess with anything besides nvidia when it comes to 3d. [01:30] unix_infidel, I know, but this was not my choice :P [01:31] another thing then... [01:31] unix_infidel, the image on the external monitor is... jiggy... its like there is some sort of disruption in the signal [01:31] unix_infidel, normally I'd think its a cable thing, but Ive seen it on another similar laptop with debian as well.. [01:31] while windows versions are working normally [01:32] modify the xorg.conf to work with that projector. [01:32] unix_infidel, could this be a driver problem as well? [01:32] phoenixz: depends, was it working fine with "intel" [01:32] is there a good way to setup a proxy server i can relay all web traffic through [01:32] unix_infidel, I haven't connected the projector yet ;) I'll do that once all is working ok [01:32] unix_infidel, its not working at all with the intel driver, the intel driver crashes on this dual configuration i have [01:33] unix_infidel, also, I have clone mode.. is there any way to have dual screen? [01:33] phoenixz: I realized long ago. Servers and Desktops with VERY specific hardware are keys to running linux. [01:34] whats the latest STABLE known working video driver for NVidia? [01:34] Laptops are fairly finicky and should be used sparingly with nonstandard setsups. [01:34] unix_infidel, supposedly, linux ought to run pretty well on most hardware by now, not? [01:35] phoenixz: for the same reason mac doesnt run well on most hardware. [01:35] can I enable deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy-backports main universe multiverse restricted without getting in trouble [01:35] = Kubuntu backports [01:36] well, mac is restricted on purpose.. :) [01:36] sourcemaker: you'll probably run into some trouble once in a while perhaps [01:38] Jucato: well.... ok [01:38] anyone know the answer to my question ll [01:38] lol [01:38] unix_infidel, okay, thanks for the help so far! [01:38] unix_infidel, If I make any advances, I'll let ya know [01:38] phoenixz: please do. [01:39] phoenixz: I have a thinkpad with a dock that connects to an external screen. [01:39] mrdigital-laptop: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.07-pkg1.run .... from the nvidia page :-) [01:39] !info nvidia-glx-new [01:39] nvidia-glx-new: NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x/X.Org 'new' driver.

[01:39] sourcemaker: clean install of gusty what do i do [01:39] first time at KDE desktop [01:40] mrdigital-laptop: ok... use apt [01:40] so sudo apt-get now what [01:41] !nvidia |mrdigital-laptop [01:41] mrdigital-laptop: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [01:41] if it's your first time, it's best to stick to the Ubuntu-provided drivers [01:41] all it says is nvidia-glx-new [01:41] i cant i need OpenGL [01:42] sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new [01:42] didnt work when i had 7.04 [01:42] mrdigital-laptop: Ubuntu provides nvidia drivers with 3d acceleration [01:42] should it work in 7.10? [01:42] it should work in 7.04 and 7.10.. perhaps you just didn't set it up properly? [01:42] what i did was clean install of 7.04 [01:43] sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new [01:43] isntalled rebooted [01:43] Xserver cant load [01:43] nvidia api mismatch [01:43] perhaps I'm mistaken. Wasn't there an "empty trash" button when viewing the trash bin? [01:44] mrdigital-laptop: you need to install linux-restricted-modules-generic too. but in Gutsy, you can just try to go to K Menu -> System Settings -> Advanced tab -> Restricted Manager [01:44] ok thanks [01:45] what do i do in gusty step for step [01:45] did you try using the Restricted Managers already? [01:45] no im downloading 7.10 [01:45] NickPresta: where? [01:46] mrdigital-laptop: try it when it's installed. it automates installing binary drivers like Nvidia [01:47] is there a way to minimize Kontact to tray when clicking the close button in the upper left corner please? [01:47] tzd: not directly, but if one of the sub-apps in Kontact is running its system tray, you can do that [01:47] Jucato, I'm not sure. I opened up the trash bin in D3lphin and I don't see an "empty trash" action. Perhaps it never existed, I'm not sure. [01:48] NickPresta: never existed. I had to put in a right-click menu to empty the trash last time :) [01:48] you can right-click in any empty space in the Trash [01:48] Jucato, ah okay. Thanks for the sanity check :) [01:48] NickPresta: everyone is sane. only D3lphin isn't :P [01:49] Jucato: hmm I've got the Korganizers daemon reminder thingie running there already but every time i click on the "X" when i have Kontact up it closes. When i press the minimize button it just minimizes. What am i doing wrong? [01:50] tzd: the korganizer reminder daemon isn't really the best one to use. try kmail's or akregators ;) === litbang is now known as riefzu [01:52] Jucato: Aaaah yeah, now we're talking :) Nice!

[03:02] (or at least I hope so) [03:03] Jucato: well most anything is better than the way firefox's filemanagement application works.

If i got 3gb of ram used.. and say 614 mb of swap used.. and i only have 1 GB of swap partition... [04:55] Is that problem? [04:55] How does it fit it all there. :) [04:55] awen_: what if the installed RAM is larger than the swap partition? [04:56] CrazyMYKL: then it needs to unload a lot from the RAM before hibernating [04:56] does it just mkswap a file on / ? [04:56] Dr_willis it can't you have to have sufficient swap to fit the ram into for hybernate to disk to work. as i understand it. [04:56] Thats what i was wondering. [04:57] so now we want a swap parittion of 3x ram :) just so we can hibernate! [04:57] it seems as if that'd be the elegant solution [04:57] but still if you are doing somthing big and use swap.. ... You could still get wehre you cant hibernate [04:57] Are you talk to me Dr_wills? [04:58] yeah... the classic "unable to hibernate" error [04:58] sunny_: i think we went a bit away from your question [04:59] my swap partition is 2X ram [04:59] sunny_: then you should be pretty safe [04:59] my ran is 2GB [05:00] 1 GB of ram and 768 MB of swap and the hibernation worked for me in 80 % of the cases... the last 20 % was when usning large java apps [05:03] Dr_willis ummm hybernate "should" turn swap off just before it writes all the ram to the swap location, i haven't plaied with it tho.

[05:51] well it's not the command that's the problem, but the lack of a specific target :) [05:51] And it occured by opening dolphin as root, running "sudo dolphin" [05:51] sudo chown username:username [05:51] it's a known issue... with sudo or kdesudo (in Gutsy) [05:51] Yeah. I suppose you're right. That's probably an easier way of doing it. [05:52] oh, and try not to use sudo when running GUI apps :) [05:52] !kdesu [05:52] In KDE, use « kdesudo » (Gutsy) or « kdesu » (Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [05:53] batis610: go to the file that's being mentioned in the error message (I presume it's ~/.kde/share/apps/dolphin/bookmarks or something) then sudo chown username:username bookmarks.xml [05:53] The fine in question is something like - /home/USER/.kde/share/apps/d3lphin/bookmarks.xml [05:53] right?

[05:57] kdesu [05:58] kedsudo replaced kdesu in Gutsy and beyond. [05:58] MGrunde do you have a command kdesudo ? [05:58] Yes [05:58] oh ok. well i don't. [05:58] intelikey: notice he said gutsy :) [05:58] ? [05:58] it really doesn't matter much. if kdesudo is installed, kdesu is symlinked to kdesudo [05:59] if not, plain kdesu is used [05:59] Jucato yes i saw.

[06:22] so i switched to ubuntu and gnome works perfectly fine.then i tried installing kde thinking maybe the install disc was bad but it kept on freezing even then. [06:22] any clues as to why? [06:22] makers_mark: Yeah, my first guess was that there was a problem with the install CD. [06:23] so no clue why my pc doesn't take kde well? [06:23] makers_mark: try with minimal CD [06:23] Well, if the CD was bad, then there could be any number of errors that would affect KDE. [06:24] well i installed kde in kubuntu via "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" [06:24] basy: Can you run glxgears? [06:24] kde in ubuntu* [06:24] so even if the cd was faulty,downloading and installing kde in ubuntu should have been fine. [06:24] : yes no problem [06:24] right?

[06:26] makers_mark: You installed Ubuntu from a different CD, and it works perfectly, but when you installed KDE, it didn't function properly? [06:27] Basy: Have you tried removing KMatrix3D? [06:27] exactly [06:27] no [06:27] Hi all. I'm setting up a new router, and in the process need to cycle the internet connection on my desktop (Kubuntu 7.10). When I try to "/etc/init.d/networking restart", however, I get an error "Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0". Why is that, and how can I just cycle the connection without rebooting? [06:27] MGrunde i blamed the kubuntu cd,but then installing kde in ubuntu ended up doing the same thing. [06:27] makers_mark: How did you install KDE? [06:28] Crell: You just want a new DHCP lease? [06:28] MGrunde "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" [06:28] MGrunde: i am a step further i installed lpr and now my error is lpr: cannot open /var/spool/lpd/MFC210C/.seq: No such file or directory [06:28] MGrunde i followed a small tutorial to do it,want to see it? [06:28] Basy: As it seems that that package caused your problem, I'd try uninstalling it and seeing if that helps. [06:29] MGrunde: Yes. [06:29] makers_mark: No, that was the right command, I thought perhaps you just tried installing kdelibs, or something like that. [06:29] Crell: sudo dhclient eth0 [06:29] And neither ifdown/ifup nor /etc/networking is doing it. [06:29] MGrunde so kde is just not blending with my hardware? [06:31] makers_mark: That really doesn't make much sense though. I've run KDE on a very wide assortment of hardware, from upper end, to servers, just for fun, and I've had no major problems. [06:32] What exactly freezes in KDE? The whole environment or certain programs? [06:32] MGrunde it doesn't make much sense to me either and i'm a linux nubcake.i mean i've modded xp with so many skins and it never failed.at least not because of the modding. [06:32] Crell: Did that work for you? [06:33] MGrunde you want to hear the kicker though? [06:33] Of course. [06:33] : Any other way how to strat KMatrix3D after 5 minutes? I like only this one...

[06:43] I don't want to paste the entire log here, will probably be kicked. Will put it online instead. hang on. [06:43] yao_ziyuan: If you believe it is a bug, then that is where you would file the report. If you would like help, you can tell me the errors you recieve. [06:43] Got it free from a friend as a hand-me-down to replace an IPCop box that doesn't do wireless and sounds like a jet engine. :-) [06:43] !russian [06:43] Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [06:44] MGrunde thanks for your help. [06:44] Unfortunately it seems to be missing a few features. [06:44] MGrunde: i'm talking about a new interface to file a bug... by talking to a bot in this channel, interactively [06:44] ёбана рот! русские есть? =) [06:46] makers_mark: No problem. If you're interested in attempting a possible but slightly dangerous solution, I'd suggest installing Hardy. [06:47] MGrunde i only use linux now to mess around and get used to it.i think i'll learn about it and then do more exciting stuff with it.thanks though. [06:47] yao_ziyuan: That would be a very nice feature to havem but incredibly difficult to implement. [06:48] MGrunde: not so difficult [06:48] MGrunde: the bot would be just like a command line utility that lets you input every field of your bug report [06:48] MGrunde thanks,it won't let me PM because i don't have an account. [06:49] actually this can be useful to all open source projects [06:49] !register | makers_mark [06:49] makers_mark: By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your Freenode nick can be found at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration [06:49] i'll do that a bit later. [06:49] but thanks. [06:50] people on here don't chat as much as in ubuntu [06:50] yao_ziyuan: I agree it would be. However, I am in no position to do such a thing. If you would be willing to start such a project, I'm sure you would attract many followers. [06:50] makers_mark: It's not usually this quiet. There's usually a bit more life. [06:50] MGrunde: i want to talk to developers of a bug filing system like bugzilla [06:51] here's a log of (some of) the results from my last apt-get upgrade (same result when installing individual packages though): http://www.develo.ltd.uk/ [06:51] i see.

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) [06:53] lupisak: That is odd, but I don't believe it's very harmful. What terminal program are you using [06:53] MGrunde: konsole [06:53] : did u try KMatrix? [06:54] MGrunde: I've been searching high and low and I just can't seem to find what is causing it. It did not appear when kubuntu was first installed. [06:55] yao_ziyuan: Then I would suggest visiting joining their mailing list : http://tinyurl.com/39rs9h [06:55] basy: I've got it intsalled, but haven't had a chance to run it yet. I'll do that now.

[06:57] yao_ziyuan: Launchpad is the major big filing system for Ubuntu [06:57] Is there away to hook up 2 mice, and switch the buttons on 1? I know it's possible to have 1 mice, it's the mirrored button usage that would be the "is it possible" portion of the question [06:57] MGrunde: never heard of :) [06:57] !launchpad [06:57] Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ [06:57] My kids are left handed. [06:57] what does this mean? Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/Release Unable to find expected entry commercial/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?) [06:58] the-erm: might be with one of the multi pointer modified x11 systems. [06:58] I got it while running apt-get update [06:58] ok unix_infidel thanks. [06:59] the-erm: that will be integrated into the next major version of X, which means it will show up in a year or so [06:59] cool. [06:59] the-erm: although, it might be possible to do it without multi-pointer X, so keep poking around [06:59] I will. [06:59] multi pointer X is a damn near necessity now. [06:59] unix_infidel: why? [06:59] unix_infidel: I mean, its cool, but is in important? [07:00] and why can't I install kmplayer source package! grrr [07:00] level1: because without it developing software that expands upon a defunct user interface is impossible. [07:00] E: Could not open file /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_gutsy_commercial_source_Sources - open (2 No such file or directory) === ubuntu_ is now known as dhq [07:00] i mean if i had a choice i'd rather have a tablet and an HD LCD than a mouse and an HD LCD> [07:01] or both. [07:01] unix_infidel: call me old fasioned, but I don't think that we need to change the old mouse-and-keyboard paradigm... its very effiecient [07:01] basy: I ran it for a minute or two without problem. How long did you say you were able to run it for? [07:01] level1: dunno. It allows a bunch of developers from various user requirements backgrounsd to develop linux based solutions. [07:01] unix_infidel: I think what need to happen is we need to have an universal document viewer... like konqueror, but more so [07:02] level1: they got that going in KDE4 [07:02] next? [07:02] next? [07:02] next! [07:03] how do i make certain apps run when i startup? something similar to "sessions" in gnome [07:03] lupisak: Just for fun, install yakuake, then run it. [07:03] !yakuake [07:03] sorry i just started using kde like 20 minutes ago [07:03] * Crell <3 yakuake. [07:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about yakuake - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:04] Aww. [07:04] yakuake, ok... what wil that do? [07:04] It's the best terminal program ever. [07:04] It hides until you need it. [07:04] cool, will try it.

It's like that, only cooler. :-) [07:05] dhq: Does firefox, or another alternate browser work? [07:05] Crell: ok. I'm not a game player but it sounds promising. [07:06] : is there any proces lunching screensaver? "ps aux | grep screen" [07:06] Ah [07:06] well i am on the live cd [07:06] lupisak: if you are a serious commandliner you won't be able to live without it once you get used to it [07:06] level1: good thing it's GLP then :) [07:07] glp? [07:07] Gold Light Projector? [07:07] sorry, GPL [07:07] : do you have xscreensaver running? [07:07] got my fingers mixed... [07:07] wait, there are programs that aren't gpl? [07:07] where? [07:07] Sure there are. Apache is under the Apache2 license. :-) [07:07] level1: yeah I think so, but in the other world. [07:07] basy: Not right now. Or at least ps doesn't think so. [07:07] Crell: eh, that's basically GPL [07:08] Crell: hehe, yeah, that's true :) [07:08] eh, no it's not. [07:08] hey, whats the difference between a tar.gz and a tar.gz2 package? [07:08] Crell: whats the difference? are they incompatable licences? [07:08] Apache2 license is "Do whatever you want, but don't bring a patent suit or the license is revoked." [07:08] Lazarus: I'm guessing that gz2 is slightly better compression [07:08] GPL is "do whatever you want, but you must share-alike under the same license." [07:09] let me ask it again: [07:09] Lazarus: but you should use bz2 if you want good compression [07:09] can somebody help me get my mic working [07:09] how to set screen resolution for the bootup screen? [07:09] GPLv3 now includes an Apache2-compatible patent clause, but GPLv2 does not. [07:09] level1, I often see gz and gz2 files for download in tandem [07:09] im just wondering what the real difference is [07:09] Lazarus: I think you mean gz and bz2. [07:09] I've never heard of gz2. [07:10] Crell, I could be mistaken [07:10] I belive the file: ~/.xscreensaver is my problem [07:10] Lazarus: bz2 is better compression (smaller files) but gz is kept for legacy reasons [07:10] bz2 is just another compression algorithm, which at least on textual data is far better than gz. [07:10] Crell, I see [07:10] The technical details between the two I couldn't begin to discuss. [07:11] Crell: I demand that you explain all the details [07:11] ive always wondered what the difference is, and why you can download one or the other and choose [07:11] Crell: and tie it into the british rule of china in the 1900s somehow [07:11] Crell: thanks for the clarification of the licenses. [07:11] basy: I don't seem to have that file. [07:11] Hi, I am having an issue connecting to a wireless network. I am using a D-Link AP that serves out DHCP addresses. I am using a linksys PCMCIA wireless card that uses bcm43xx linux drivers. The card appears to work fine and appears in iwconfig and ifconfig. I can also see the wireless network and use iwconfig to associate with the ap. What does not work is getting a dhcp address. I use dhclient and it sends out several DHCPOFFERS but ne [07:12] level1: Well gzip was developed by the Chinese in the late 1800s. The British improved upon it and created bz2 by adding Earl Gray tea to it, but the Chinese were so incensed that it triggered the Boxer Rebellion. [07:12] how do i set my apps to autostart? something like "sessions" in gnome [07:12] Crell: you know your history [07:12] dan724: Are you on the notebook now using a wired connection? [07:12] level1: My parents are history teachers. :-) [07:13] Crell: :) :) [07:13] * Crell goes back to cursing out his network. [07:13] MGrunde: no, I am on another computer using a wired connection. The notebook doesnt have a wired connection. [07:13] Crell, heh, very nice summary [07:14] ogre: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Autostart_Programs#KDE [07:14] Hey, yakuake is pretty cool, but I'm getting blinded! it's too white! I need black background in order to do 16 hours a day in front of the computer :) [07:14] lupisak: you can change it by right clicking on the body of the, um, white [07:14] lupisak: I'm sure you can set that somewhere or another. Maybe it's in the man [07:15] level1: Wow. I never knew that. Haha. [07:15] That sure is convienent [07:15] haha, right click, settings, schema, "white on black" [07:15] MGrunde: because yakuake is a konsolepart embedded in the window (in a very weird way) its not part of the yakuake menu [07:16] * Crell prefers green on black. [07:16] MGrunde: an unfortunate hack [07:16] I just couldn't see it because I was blinded... [07:16] dan724: Okay. So you connect it iwconfig, right? Do you have a signal strength? [07:16] hey, could we disable the pcspkr module by default in future version of ubuntu? [07:17] Crell: green on black brings back memories of my good old hercules... [07:17] is it possible to for me to install linux on my flash drive without affecting the current o/s [07:17] It's actually much better for the eyes. :-) [07:17] MGrunde: yes, it associates with the ap just fine, I have a good signal strength (in the 70-80 range). [07:17] OK, this is annoying. [07:18] I have two computers on the same AP/Router, both with addresses. But they can't ping each other. [07:18] Crell: twighlight zone! [07:18] Apparently. [07:18] I knew it was a bad idea to switch routers at 11 pm in the middle of the week. [07:19] dan [07:19] little did that computer know, it had entered.... the twighlight zone [07:19] dan724: And sudo dhclient wlan0 doesn't work? [07:19] Assuming it is wlan0 [07:20] Crell: Try static addesses? [07:20] Er, why? [07:20] MGrunde: correct, dhclient simply sends out DHCPOFFERS for a while and then quits when it doesnt get an address. I've made sure that no other dhclients are running before running dhclient as well. [07:21] dhq: Look into Puppy Linux or Feather Linux for installing a Linux disto on a thumb drive. [07:21] Crell: My method of fixing things is trying every possible idea until one works. [07:21] Maybe the old router isn't very friendly with DHCP for some reason. [07:22] heh. Well, I'd have to manually configure the gateway and.... Oh bloody hell. [07:22] * Crell decides he's too tired to be working on the network. [07:22] dan724: And you've never had problem with dpch on your router before? [07:23] Crell: Just buy a Buffalo router with DD_WRT installed on it. [07:23] It would help if I plugged the other computer into the new router in addition to this computer. Maybe then they could ping each other. [07:24] MGrunde: nope, ive had many a lan party using this very same ap with 5-10 people all having no problem. They all use windows machines though... I unfortunately dont have a windows laptop to try this with. [07:24] I will probably cycle again in a moment... :-) [07:24] Good luck. [07:24] hey MGrunde,speaking of routers.i want to get a new router to replace my linksys wrt54gs v5.i was thinking about the airport extreme but figured i could get a better router for the same money.so i was looking at the linksys wrt600n,what do you think about it? [07:25] btw i want an n-compliant router. [07:25] how do I download one package from the ubuntu website? I want to download this: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/source/kmplayer but theres no link [07:26] level1 try "sudo apt-get install kmplayer" [07:26] makers_mark: I'm in the same situation. I would like an n router, but at the same time I would really like a router that works with DD_WRT or Tomato firmware. [07:26] makers_mark: what on earth is an n-compliant router? [07:26] 802.11n [07:27] makers_mark: I just want to .deb... I don't want to have to add the hardy repos, update, download the file, remove the repos, and then update again. Furthermore, it might bring in some hardy dependencies and hose my system [07:27] makers_mark: MGrunde: yep, being able to install DD_WRT is the most important for me [07:27] makers_mark: I just want the file! [07:27] level1 then i can't help you (i'm a nub :( ) ask these guys. [07:28] level1, are you on Hardy? [07:28] * Crell42 returns... [07:28] 802.11n being faster than b and g? [07:28] NickPresta: no, but its a source file [07:28] MGrunde lupisak> i don't really care what firmware as long as it doesn't bottleneck as much as my current router does. [07:28] NickPresta: so I can compile it against gutsy [07:28] Faster and with a longer range. [07:28] level1, I don't suggest mixing packages from one ubuntu version to the other. Why do you need hardy version of kmplayer? [07:28] lupisak: n > g > b, but n is also still pre-release. [07:28] lupisak yeah,it's faster than b & g === Extrapan100^BNC is now known as Extrapan100 [07:29] NickPresta: I need kmplayer with knpplayer support, but the gutsy version won't compile with it [07:29] levell: choose the file that works with your system: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/k/kmplayer/ [07:29] Crell42: Aha, I c. that's why [07:29] makers_mark: Do you have any gigabit complient wired computers? [07:30] MGrunde i have a macbook pro who's wireless card supports 802.11n [07:30] dan724: for the love of god, thank you [07:30] levell: np, it took me forever to find it the first time [07:31] makers_mark: Wow. Those things are fancy. You probably don't need gigabit ethernet then. [07:31] lupisak: That's why what? [07:32] Crell42: that's why I have not heard about it yet :) [07:32] Ah. Well there is 802.11n hardware out there, based on a candidate spec. [07:32] I'm avoiding it for now. [07:32] MGrunde no,but lately i've been having trouble with the router not working wirelessly and so i'm thinking that if i get a router,i should get one that's good. [07:33] not just one to replace this one for another couple of months. [07:33] hehe, I'll keep my WRT54GL until it's *actually* released then :) [07:33] lupisak stop bragging! [07:34] makers_mark: bragging? that's an ancient router! :) [07:34] what happens if IEEE makes a major change to the wireless n spec? [07:34] are all those devices just useless? [07:35] They may be able to take a firmware upgrade, maybe not. Depends on the change. [07:35] That's why I'm avoiding it. :-) [07:35] level1: hehe, I guess they can still use b and g :) [07:35] lupisak hence the sarcasm in my joke being intensified :P [07:35] level1, I suggest you make sure you have the sources line in your sources.list. Then, `sudo apt-get build-dep kmplayer` to make sure you have all the dependencies. Download the source file (http://kmplayer.kde.org/download.php) and then ./configure with what ever options you need/prefer. make and make install. Install it to /opt/bin so you can remove it if you need to or you can have both the repo version an [07:35] d the cutting edge version. [07:35] *sigh* I really wish this wireless junk would work... [07:36] d? [07:36] makers_mark: Well I have a Netgear draft N router that I'm pretty unhappy with, so I'd suggest staying away from it. [07:37] ugh... why didn't ubuntu just compile kmplayer with npp support? [07:37] dan724: cabled networks are a lot more stable :) on my laptop the keyboard will stop working after a random time if the wireless is enabled, hence I disabled it for now... [07:38] MGrunde i'm going to get it in a couple of months anyway,so it's not exactly "a rush". [07:40] lupisak: lol, that is a very interesting problem to troubleshoot... I know what you mean about wireless networks being unstable === ubuntu_ is now known as dhq_ [07:40] dan724: exactly. this is why I decided that it is not worth my time, as my computer is on my desk 99% of the time anyway. [07:41] MGrunde: in an effort to confuse you further, while I am not getting an ip on my wireless, I am revieving packets, (ifconfig reports almost 1200 RX packets now) and tcpdump reports some activity. [07:41] dan724: and you can imagine how difficult it was to trace the problem to the wireless in the first place! [07:42] dan724: Throw the laptop and the router out of the nearest window. That should fix your problem. [07:42] Hi everyone [07:43] I apparle [07:43] Hi apparle [07:43] MGrunde: I'm on it, it made a pretty loud noise as im 2 stories up :D [07:45] dan724: That's good. That means your laptop connect to the router. [07:46] Okay. I think I'm signing off for the night. Good night everyone. [07:46] night MGrunde, thanks [07:47] does anybody know how to compile kmplayer with knpplayer support? [07:49] level1: why do you want kmplayer [07:49] apparle: its standing between me and flash [07:50] apparle: http://mikearthur.co.uk/?p=171 [07:51] level1: You have x64? [07:51] um... no [07:52] thats not the problem [07:52] the version that comes with gutsy doesn't have the npp support that I need [07:52] I'd have to get the hardy version [07:53] but even then I'd have to recompile it [07:53] what will open a .xls file? [07:55] level1: What is npp support [07:56] apparle: something that gives me flash apparently [07:56] makuseru: .xls is ms excel format [07:56] makuseru: maybe openoffice, koffice, gnumeric, etc [07:56] although, only excel will open it correctly [07:57] makuseru: Google it [07:58] I will be back in 2 minutes [08:02] Ha ha! === Extrapan100 is now known as Extrapan100^BNC [08:15] how can I do a header per site in openoffice?

[09:06] jussi01, have you installed SMP kubuntu for your dual core-ness? [09:10] hello! if i enable root account i will be able to modify anything like system files? [09:10] i have disk mounting problems because of windows games crashes [09:10] Boruta, yes if you su to the account. I can strongly advise against it and run stuff via kdesu and sudo [09:11] Boruta: You can do that with sudo without having to enable the root account [09:11] anyone here use netbeans for java? [09:11] why its bad idea enable root? [09:11] awag22, not me [09:11] ActionParsnip: that fixed it ( the nopaic nolapic) woohoo [09:11] :) [09:11] !sudo | Boruta Please read the info here [09:11] Boruta Please read the info here: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. [09:11] !root | Boruta [09:11] Boruta: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [09:12] hehehe ok ok thx :D [09:12] Boruta, any app you run as root will have root access. If the app is compromised the attacker has full access. If you sudo the admin stuff and execute apps as user the atacker only gains user priveledges [09:13] Boruta, its basically a security issue and the main reason why idiot windows users get viri / spyware installed when they run web browsers as admin [09:14] thx i was guessing its like that now i am sure [09:14] Boruta, if you need admin power at command line (apt-get, cp etc) use su, kdesu should be used for apps like kate etc [09:15] Boruta, only the one shot app will have power but no others [09:15] in fstab i have ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 [09:15] if i delete errors it will be ok? [09:16] Hi, I'm have just dist-upgraded to hardy and now my desktop is full of icons, one for every directory in /. They are not .desktop files, Desktop contains has no files, but I just "see" the icons when I look at my desktop. Any clues? [09:16] i've never quit understood why doing a kdesu is needed, does it do something special with kde? [09:16] quit = quite [09:16] danf_1979: Hardy support in #ubuntu+1 [09:16] !kdesu | awag22 [09:16] awag22: In KDE, use « kdesudo » (Gutsy) or « kdesu » (Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [09:17] Boruta, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-515326.html may help [09:17] ok thx [09:18] Boruta, np [09:18] awag22, you can technically use kdesu for everything and forget sudo [09:19] any cool printing gui thingie for kubuntu? [09:19] or simply cups? [09:19] ah i see [09:20] tuxick, cups works for me :D [09:20] ActionParsnip: same here, just wondering [09:21] tuxick, let me google a sec [09:21] naw [09:23] just wondered if there was some nice kde interface [09:23] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu tells me to follow "System->Administration" [09:23] but that's not there [09:24] tuxick, ubuntu uses Gnome, Kubuntu uses KDE [09:25] tuxick, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=43458 [09:25] that article about kdesu claims kate cannot be run with a normal sudo, but i've done sudo kate to edit config files before, and havn't had problems [09:25] tuxick, you won't see System -> Administration as those are Gnome menus [09:26] awag22: Which article? [09:26] awag22, it can damage permissions on files and profiles. kdesu for gui apps (like kate) sudo for cp, mv, rm etc [09:26] yeah after i read that i understand why it can be bad [09:27] but it was talking like kate can't be run at all with a normal sudo [09:27] ardchoille: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo [09:27] awag22: it's not that I *cannot* be done, but that it *shouldn't* be done [09:27] ok [09:28] guess i'll be more careful from now on :) [09:33] awag22: You can check to see if there are any root owned files in your $HOME with: find $HOME -user root [09:35] jussi01, any good?

When i tried the reply thing it had a setup of 50/50... the upper part of the email didn't work. got those boxes "[]" instead. The lower part of the email worked though. [10:48] tzd, what client is your email buddy using? [10:50] tzd, i cant really suggest anything as some of it works and if you email yourself then its ok [10:50] ActionParsnip: The one i mentioned I'm not sure about since it's a job hunting service. The other emails which shows the same symptoms are from gmail, hotmail. I imported these from thunderbird yesterday and i noticed it back then but i thought it might have been due to the import.

[11:07] sry for my bad english [11:08] do you understand my question? [11:08] ardchoille: is there any way to do this so that I can seetext documents behind it rather than just the background? Also is there any way to make it happen for every session automatically? [11:09] kubu, you would need to run a pc as your router and audit from there. Depends on what your router can do. Some remember the last few websites viewed [11:09] kubu, you'll have to rtfm on your router [11:09] Roy_M: Not sure about the "true transparency" (ie seeing windows behind konsole) but you can choose a schema and then Settings > Save as default to have it set for future sessions [11:09] ardchoille: thanks :) [11:09] yw [11:11] ardchoille.? the clients go trough the router with masquerading.

I server watch while the onsite guys sleep [12:23] ah, yeah i was wondering if you were in europe somewhere or something, so early and you said you've been doing nothing for 4 hours [12:23] yeah i do 7am to 3pm which is 2am to 10am EST (servers are in Miami and Atlanta) [12:24] what does server watching consist of exactly? [12:25] we have a program called altiris that emails me when servers die so i get them up and see why. usually its a network glitch [12:25] then theres the odd thing i manually check like citrix resources [12:26] but otherwise its a lot of sitting [12:26] and why i come on here [12:26] hehe [12:26] i would strongly suggest that this linux distro include a system restore feature [12:26] no ones shouted offtopic yet [12:26] like vmware's snapshot creation and restoration [12:27] yeah :) [12:27] saving the current memory+disk state [12:27] and restoring at a later time [12:27] frak vmware [12:27] this is definitely helpful for newbies who always make deadly mistakes [12:28] suppose i don't want to fiddle around with groups to give users access to sound, what's the 'normal' (k)ubuntu way? [12:28] yao_ziyua1, true indeed [12:28] yao_ziyua1, just remember to research first and backup config files before you modify them [12:28] tuxick: if you add users in a "kubuntu"-way they should already be in the audio group [12:28] does normal ubuntu have a system restore feature? [12:28] not just config files [12:29] carwash^: well, in this case they're ldap users [12:29] which makes it a bit of a hassle [12:29] aah, then i don'tknow. I usually do the "addgroup group user", or is it the other way around? [12:29] whatever works :) [12:29] config files, all system files, [12:29] tuxick, http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-linux-add-user-to-group/ [12:30] i was just wondering if chmod was too crude [12:30] yao_ziyua1, only what you manually change. xorg.conf is a classic example [12:30] especially when some system files are updated while others encounter problems updating [12:30] ActionParsnip: i know how linux basics work :) [12:31] tuxick, user changes are universal as far as i know [12:31] ActionParsnip: i never manually change a config file unless there is explicit instructions :) [12:31] typically to do a system snapshot, back up you ~/ and /etc and your packagelist and you have everything you need [12:31] well these users auth against ldap [12:31] and i don't want to mess that bit up [12:31] i'll simply chmod [12:31] yao_ziyua1, when you do stil backup so you can copy it back if its not right [12:32] carwash^: could also be about bin/, usr/bin [12:32] tuxick, easiest way [12:32] tuxick: sounds like noe the best way to do it, not that i could really help you finding a better solution :/ [12:32] hi, I'm able to access using LAN network from linux to windows, but not viceversa, ehy?

[12:32] yao_ziyua1: you should never manually change files there, thus installing the same packages as before should fix it [12:32] e.g. the user is recompiling kernel binaries and an error occurs halfway [12:33] the reason for backing up your home is that all your personal settings are stored there [12:33] (and of course your files) [12:33] ActionParsnip: sorry, but system setting tell me samba not installed... [12:33] giuseppe, konqueror has a groovy folder sharing thingy [12:34] ActionParsnip: it can be that without samba server installed I'm able to see windows PC and not viceversa? [12:34] of course [12:34] giuseppe: sudo apt-get install samba [12:35] wait, isn't samba automatically installed with the default kubuntu install? [12:35] awag22: not installed [12:36] giuseppe, if you load konqueror and right click on a folder to share, it will install whatever you need automatically [12:37] awag22: my question is this: if samba server is not installed it can be that I'm abe to access to a windows pc from my linux pc?

[15:22] I cant stand adept. so i never use it. :) [15:22] It may be switching to root as soon as it runs. [15:23] Dr_willis: ok.. i will check it later..

[16:18] clintc: yw [16:18] Yes [16:18] after some delay in starting up [16:19] Sfan00: have you tried with your old gfx card after that? [16:19] It was beeping two time prior to replacment of the card [16:19] Yes [16:19] I have tried with - Old card , new card and no card ... [16:19] Sfan00: oh, so it actually beeped twice before you even replaced the gfx card? [16:19] It still BEEPS at me [16:19] tzd : yes [16:19] It beeped twice [16:19] hi [16:19] I then thought - Maybe it's a Video card issue [16:19] hi [16:20] So I replaced the video card [16:20] do i need swap memory on a system with 2gb RAM? [16:20] Sfan00: ok. Have you tried with resetting bios to default? [16:20] If I could get a video screen to do that... I would [16:20] yop im back [16:20] serenity: many will suggest yes [16:20] serenity, probably not, but it's best to have _some_ just in case. 2GB won't stop your system from ever needing swap. [16:20] nosrednaekim: here i am [16:20] faissal: working now? [16:20] Sfan00: oh so you cant even get there... hmm.. [16:20] nosrednaekim: nope [16:20] tzd; RAM Failure? [16:21] faissal: very odd, I can't find anything on google either. [16:21] NickPresta: how much will be a good value? 500mb? [16:21] Sfan00: def. sounds like it... [16:21] but i do not get the input output error now nosrednaekim [16:21] so you erased that file? [16:21] it just says there is no such file or directory [16:21] Sfan00: if i can remember correctly i think 2 beep used to be RAM on XX computers at least [16:21] i guess so === bp is now known as bp__ [16:22] can you please help me mount my usb drive ? === bp__ is now known as bp [16:22] faissal: ah ok.... so when you open up that drive in dolphin, what does it say?

[16:27] ;) [16:28] sometimes hal just gets screwed up. [16:28] Shall I assume RAM's busted and throw out the ram DIMM's? [16:28] and Buy new RAM? [16:28] Sfan00: don'ttrow them out til you know for sure... [16:28] see if you can borrow some ram from someone else [16:28] becaue I don't want to wreck 'new' ram if the main board's busted [16:28] LOL [16:29] then stick the "bad ram" in some else's computer and see if it works [16:29] I was trying to get the vidoe back to run Memtest following the sync error [16:30] nosrednaekim: lol im back. once i unmounted the drive i can mount it again .....

[16:39] :( [16:39] ardchoille: ops never mind, got that one wrong... well no not identical hw [16:40] faissal, you could edit /etc/fuse.conf and enable the user_allow_other setting I guess.. [16:40] faissal, not sure what you are doing exactly however. :) [16:40] What's annoying is that I had got the machine running happily at 1.8 and with an Nivida 5200 128 already to install Kubuntu and thing went pear shaped :( [16:40] ok, im already editing it i remove the # before the line user_allow [16:40] Im guess ing user_allow_othes, lets Other users access a different users fuse mounts as their own.

[16:50] sigma_123, perhaps via backports [16:50] PLZ suggest me a software for converting picture formats [16:50] sudo chown it in konsole [16:51] MGalaxy, I like `convert`, part of the imagemagick suite. `sudo apt-get install imagemagick` [16:51] faissal: add yourself to the plugdev group [16:51] sigma_123: backports [16:51] trappist: ok thx [16:51] i hope they do a livecd. i dnt wana mess with my current install [16:51] NickPresta: has it a GUI? [16:51] sigma_123, there is a current KDE4 liveCD, IIRC [16:51] MGalaxy, no, it's a command line utility [16:51] please can someone tell me why it fails when i am trying to connect to the hidden sidd in kubuntu ? [16:51] trappist: i was already in it [16:52] sigma_123: See the channel topic [16:52] MGalaxy, I don't know of any GUI application offhand. Sorry [16:52] NickPresta: I need something with GUI [16:52] faissal: then you have write access to the device - just maybe not to the mounted directory [16:52] NickPresta: ok, thx [16:52] yeah i know that but its rc2. wil they update it when the final version is released? [16:52] trappist yes thats it [16:52] trappist: i want access to the mounted directory [16:53] faissal: do ls -l /media and see who owns the directory. if I insert a usb stick while I'm logged in, I own it [16:54] normally the person mounting the device has permission on it. [16:55] yeah i wud think that 2 [16:55] huh. the timestamp on the directory is 1969-12-31 18:00 [16:55] i own /media/sdb1 trappist [16:55] PLZ suggest me a software for converting picture formats + GUI [16:55] lol [16:55] faissal: then you should definitely be able to write to it [16:56] if u own it u shud b able 2open it [16:56] and write 2it [16:56] MGalaxy, you can use The GIMP, although it isn't meant solely for converting image formats. [16:56] MGalaxy: there are lots of gui ones (try the gimp) but if you're not afraid of a little console work, you can convert a zillion images at once with a simple command [16:57] trappist thats right i can write in it when the usb stick isnt inserted [16:57] MGalaxy: what do u wana convert to? [16:57] imagemagik [16:57] sigma_123: anything to anything :D [16:57] trappist it is just that i cannot mount the drive i get an error saying fusermount: option blkdev is privileged [16:57] NickPresta: trappist: thx [16:57] wel id say gimp. it does a good job [16:58] pity its a slow gtk app :( [16:58] faissal: why didn't you say that in the first place [16:58] Please help. I cannot start my system, it goes through the kubuntu startup, but I get the flashing cursor. During the last boot, I used System Manager to change the resolution of the boot, which worked fine, I also dropped to the command line to try to do a fdisk, but diddn't go through with it. I did this to a secondary hard drive, so this shouldn't effect it. Everything was fine, so I... [16:58] ...shutdown -h then started again and now I get the flashing cursor. Please help. [16:59] i had to go back 2konq because firefox was hopeless [16:59] Timmy|away: can you do ctrl+alt+f2 and get a command line? [16:59] trappist : sorry but it is right now that i get this message it didnt appear 1st [16:59] faissal: what kind of filesystem is on that device [16:59] nosrednaekim: Let me try [16:59] trappist ntfs [16:59] sigma_123, how many konqs do you have [16:59] ? [16:59] nosrednaekim: No [17:00] faissal: that's what I thought - there's a lot of google hits on that error message, all for ntfs [17:00] faissal: just wondering... does it have to be NTFS? FAT makes this a heck fo a lot easier [17:00] Timmy|away: can you boot into fail safe mode(from grub) [17:00] nosrednaekim: yes because i got files larger than 4 gb :dvd isos [17:00] Let me try. [17:00] faissal: http://www.ntfs-3g.org/support.html#useroption3 [17:00] faissal: ah..ok. [17:00] ok trappist: [17:00] faissal: so make it ext3 :) [17:01] it probably needs to be read by windows. [17:01] yes but i need access to it to backup 1st trappist ;) [17:01] nosrednaekim: When I went back to restart it, it had just started x. [17:01] Timmy|away: so eveything is good? [17:01] no i am trying to get rid of windows today lol... [17:01] faissal: oh.... then do format it ext3.. [17:01] (if it doesn't have anything on it.) [17:01] At first sight, yes. Ill take a look and see if its all solid. Is there a boot log nosrednaekim? [17:01] before i format it, i need access to the files to back them up [17:02] Timmy|away: "dmesg" or /var/log/messages [17:02] faissal: ah :) [17:02] nosrednaekim: I have installed a new sata hard drive, it has no partition table, so I need to partition it, what is the easiest way to do it. [17:02] maybe gparted [17:03] Timmy|away: qtparted [17:03] nosrednaekim: I'm switching back to my PC, nick TimS [17:03] Thanks alot [17:03] Right. [17:03] faissal: I thought you said that your drive was working after you had rebooted? [17:03] qtparted. [17:04] nosrednaekim: it worked but i tried to unmount and remount but it didnt work [17:04] nosrednaekim: it doesnt want to be mounted again [17:04] nosrednaekim: Is there any relevance to the order devices are listed in "sudo fdisk -l" last time my sata hard drive was second, now its first. [17:04] faissal: ah.... [17:05] TimS: I don't think so. [17:05] I'm using a white-on-dark color theme... if I go an https:// site in konq, the address bar background turns tan & is unreadable... anyone? [17:05] Odd. [17:06] Knetworkmanager can not connect to my hidden sidd [17:06] j [17:08] kim__: What are you trying to do? [17:08] chmod 4755 $(which ntfs-3g) -> can someone please explain me what do (which ntfs-3g) stands for ?? [17:08] Right people [17:08] Question.. [17:08] Which version of Main baord do i need to get for Kubunut [17:08] *kubuntu [17:08] I have a Dell latitude d620 laptop with external monitor, I just configured X for 2 monitors but once I switch to the external monitor of my laptop using fn+F8, I cant switch back.. is there anything known about that? === theadministrator is now known as DarkTan_ [17:09] faissal: "$(which ntfs-3g) is a variable telling the system the path to ntfs-3g. It's the same as if you open a terminal and type: which ntfs-3g [17:09] Whenever I press fn+F8 again, the external screen flickers for a second, but nothing else happens, the output stays on the external screen while it should be shown on the builtin LCD screen... [17:09] I am trying to set up the wlan for my girl but her step father haves a hidden sidd he did gave me the name but it will not connect [17:10] i've notice that kubuntu has a lost of the fonts that windows has. is ut possible to use fonts for windows on linux? [17:10] kim__: You're trying to hack into it? [17:10] ardchoille: thx a lot [17:10] DarkTan_: yes, it is [17:10] Yeeaha, it works [17:11] cno i am not trying to hack it [17:11] nosrednaekim: Is it odd that a brand new hard drive, 250gig, only has 232.39 left after i created a partition table?

Also, ext3 is the normal, and what does label mean, is this just a name? [17:12] TimS: yes, the first 3 partitions are primary [17:13] Label? [17:13] TimS: yes, label is just a name [17:13] Okay, so Home would be fine [17:13] yeah [17:13] So, next I right click, format [17:13] Or do I click Commit first? [17:14] IDK....

[17:15] Looks okay ^_^ [17:21] Can someone please tell me how to connect to a hidden sidd in knetwork manager [17:21] how long should it take to resize an ntfs partition on a fairly modern system? kubuntu partition manager just hangs. its been 25 min [17:22] kim__: Please take that to another channel. Given your original question (how can i hack a wep easy?) and your recent questions, your intentions do not appear to comply with our guidelines. [17:22] sonic do you have 7.10? by my girl it went fast but she got a small disk [17:23] ardchoille i dont wanna hack but it also seems not that i can connect easy to a hidden sidd with knetwork manager [17:24] kim__: yes. ive got 12000 MBs used on a Windows partition and want to resize it from 90 GB to 20 GB. I also defragged it beforehand. [17:24] this is a gutsy install [17:24] kim__: Do you have the necessary credentials to log in? [17:24] i have the sidd name there no wep code or anything [17:25] Hello again. I am about to copy my /home to a new hard drive to use as a home drive, but when it was created, it created a Lost+Found directory, do I need this directory and will it show up in my home directory from now on? [17:26] and now i am using tempory the kabel but i need to set the wlan before her stepfather takes the kabel [17:26] TimS: this directory should be in root "/"... [17:26] can someone please recommend another mp3 player other than amarok; i am absolutely fet up with it. it constantly crashes/hangs. [17:27] TimS➜ GNU/Linux puts files in Lost + Found that it has restored after a system crash or a partition hasn't been umounted correctly. [17:27] shaffy: juk is working fine for me [17:27] kim__: Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [17:27] TimS: as far as I know, this directory is created on every ext3 partition [17:27] sourcemaker: thanks for your input. does it have relatively decent options? [17:27] This is a new hard drive, I just partitioned it and formated it, I inted to copy my /home dir to it and mount it over the top. Will it cause a problem and can I remove it. [17:27] It is a ext3 partition. [17:28] shaffy: it's easy to use... and does not have many options [17:28] Is it possible to hide it from anyone that isn't root then? [17:28] thanks sourcemaker. i appreciate the input. [17:29] also, sub[t]rnl its a 250gig hard drive and has 218gig avalibe, is that right? [17:30] well where can I get kubuntu 7.04? I never had problems resizing with that. [17:30] hmm.. google kubuntu 7.04 download [17:31] TimS➜ ext3 reserves space on the drive afiak [17:31] sonic__: why not using gusty? [17:31] Thats not very nice of it. :P [17:32] sourcemaker: Gutsy is more or less unstable compared too feisty [17:32] sourcemaker: cause resizing ntfs just hangs. Ive tried it twice and its even on a defragged partition with 10Gb of free space Im leaving on it [17:32] sonic__: ok... nice to know [17:32] i find gutsy stable here.. i did do a clean install :) [17:33] and i dont use compiz. [17:33] LeAstrale: That is not true. I found Gutsy (clean install) to be very stable. [17:33] sourcemaker: dont get me wrong, I HATED Qtparted. but at least resizing works. [17:33] TimS➜ hehe, you should be able to adjust the amount of reserved space with tune2fs, but make sure you read up on it and know what your doing [17:34] * sub[t]rnl agrees with ardchoille [17:34] Dr_willis: been using gutsy since alpha. no problems. but the install disk wont resize my ntfs. so Im going to use 7.04 just to resize then finish off with gutsy [17:34] ardchoille: i installed it on my Latitude D630 and i've never seen any Ubuntu system so unstable.. Hardy Alpha 2 was much more stable [17:34] TimS: the size also depends on how it is counted, as 1MB = 1000 Bytes or 1024 Bytes [17:34] I alwyas use the various gparted live cds for my resizing needs [17:35] ive seen some windows disk layouts that just really confuse some of the parted tools. [17:35] Dr_willis: ok Ill search for that. hopefully itll be a smaller download ;) [17:35] Also, I need to copy my home directory across now, but usualy I would drop to the command line, so that nothing is in use, but when I startx after wards, I get now shutdown options, and i have to go back to the command line and shutdown from there, should I startkde or is there a better command just to get it back to normal. [17:35] Sanne: 234gig if I use H :P [17:36] sub[t]rnl: Ah thanks, I may look it up if I need some more space in the future :P [17:36] Gparted Live cd, I think is its full name. [17:36] !fonts [17:36] Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [17:37] TimS: aha, see? :) [17:37] Dr_willis: yeah I found it. thanks again. thats what I needed [17:37] I wonder what the manafacturers use. Probably 1000 whereas linux is proper and uses 104 :P [17:37] 1024* [17:38] marketing likes to use 1000 so the #'s look bigger. :) [17:38] I got a 300gb hd.. it came with 'free' 20gb extra! [17:38] XD [17:38] lol [17:38] wellif they had used the 1024 # - instead of 1000... [17:39] Most likely they stopped makigmn the 300s nd still had 300 box;s about :) so they Put them in there and stuck a 'free' sticker on the box [17:39] hehe :P [17:39] Right, I'm gonna try and copy all my data across. [17:40] Ill irssi if I get stuck :P [17:41] hello. i tried to install wicd_1.3.1-all.deb to get wpa support for my wireless card. by installing with dpkg i get an error that wicd collides with network-manager. should i remove network-manager? [17:41] TimS: I recently learned that actually 1000 Bytes = 1 MB and is pronounced megabyte, while 1024 Bytes = 1 MiB (mibibyte). Nobody seems to use it correctly, though (me neither). [17:42] Im stuck. [17:42] I think the techky nerds got sick of the MB term being abused.. so they made a new one. :) [17:42] !wireless | mace_ [17:42] mace_: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [17:42] I got to the kde login screen. Clicked console log in, and it went black, I got to a screen with a black flashing cursor, and waited, it started X and KDE again. [17:42] Whats wrong? [17:43] mace_➜ wpa is supported in knetworkmanager [17:43] mace_➜ but yeah, you'll have to remove one to use the other [17:44] Ill try for a restart. [17:45] sub[t]rnl: hmm i do only see wep options [17:45] mace_➜ right click on the icon, then go to connect to other wireless network and enter the essid, and select the encryption method [17:46] i just use kwifimanager, its so much simpler for some reason [17:47] knetworkmanager still has some rough edges, thats for sure [17:47] would it be better for me to get wicd :)? [17:47] yeah true, i find it perfect for wired lan but wireless still leaves alot to be desired [17:48] mace_: try kwifimanager in the repos [17:48] well, not even for wired lan, it still flubs up when you set manual ip's in /etc/network/interfaces [17:48] but its getting better! [17:48] * sub[t]rnl hums [17:49] good morning, I started up my laptop this morning and it very kindly told me that it could not start kstartupconfig. Has anyone else had this issue? [17:49] !kstartupconfig [17:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about kstartupconfig - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [17:50] sub[t]rnl: i set a manual ip but in kcontrol and it still worked. i hate dhcp assignment, its almost impossible to use with nfs or my apache server the way i like it [17:50] sigma_: ok ill try [17:50] snarkster➜ hrm, could be a problem with ownership of your /home/usr direcotry [17:51] hmm I dont htink i have a /home/usr [17:51] no /home/"user" [17:51] /home/USERNAME :) [17:51] like, /home/snarkster [17:52] can someone go to http://10.144.69.107/wiki and tell me what they see? [17:52] username! there we go [17:52] uh oh [17:52] no home directory [17:52] heh, theres the problem [17:52] thank you [17:54] sigma_: is this just a program to search for wlans? [17:55] mace_: i use it for connecting to my home network. unlike knetworkmanager, it connects automatically as soon as i activate the wireless [17:55] ok thanks [17:56] mace_: u need to set it up [17:59] problem is, that i got this wlan at my work. cant test it now :s [18:00] mace_: lol o well theres always 2moro [18:02] hehe :) [18:04] anyone intall the CX88 module? [18:04] I'm trying to get Firefox to use KDE dialogs for opening and saving files. I found references to kgtk... but I'd see a Howto the is just for kubuntu.... but I lost the link. It was given to me by a person on this list... I've tried in vein to google for it. [18:05] Jucato: are you here? [18:05] whynot just use konqueror ? [18:07] yes i have moved back to konq after a fling with firefox (cheating is not good) :( [18:08] my konq is very reliable , but it's still slower than FF , can't figure out why ...IPv6 is disabled [18:08] does kbuntu have CX88 modules loaded? [18:10] BluesKaj: huh? slower than firefox. thats not possible [18:10] mrdigital, i beleive the gutsy does ...had no probs with my tv tuner being recognized as i did in previous releases [18:11] well sigma_ , i have both and i can testify that FF is faster [18:11] BluesKaj: are you talking about the program or the browsing speed? [18:11] BluesKaj: what tuener? [18:11] firefox uses more bandwidth than konq when loading pages, but thats just me [18:13] help with Kmail filters anyone please? [18:14] mrdigital, ATI TV Wonder Pro [18:14] BluesKaj: when do do a lspci does it show up? [18:14] BluesKaj: you're joking right? I can't even check gmail w/ konqueror. Konqueror doesn't even have a history, and when I tried to save a book mark... it was gone when I looked for it..... this is why I'm here asking for a link, because I was stupid enough to use konqueror for 5 min. to look at this one webpage which konqueror has now sent to /dev/null [18:15] mahasamoot: Opera [18:15] mrdigital: what about it? [18:15] try it out [18:16] mrdigital: maybe it's different now, but last I saw it had ads in it... and didn't impress me at all [18:16] different [18:17] let's hear the sales pitch [18:17] ??? [18:17] i dont use it [18:17] mahasamoot, konq has a history9just click on "show navigation panel under 'View" , gmail can be rendered ok, there is a fix for that [18:18] BluesKaj: does ur tuner show up in lspci? [18:19] ok kubuntu froze up and now it wont boot, it gives invalid operating system [18:20] mrdigital, yes :Multimedia video controller: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder (rev 05) [18:21] hey gmail does work in konq, maybe not in full mode but still works none the less:) [18:21] ive heard that the updates to flash some how broke with konq. But i never use konq. :) [18:21] I got too many firefox addons i use. [18:22] sigma_, there's an html fix to render most of the page (a little differently than FF I admit) but it does work ok. [18:22] you check out swiftweasel? [18:22] BluesKaj: pm? [18:23] mrdigital, i prefer not to PM ...ppl here can help as well incase they've encountered a sismilar condition :) [18:23] Im trying to install ubuntu with debootstrap. Im installing grub right now, but it freezes in here [18:23] Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub [18:23] nothing more happens [18:23] any clue? [18:23] the chat is moving too fast [18:23] It is? [18:24] im getting a fton of parts and joins [18:24] thats why you disable/hide parts and joins. :) [18:24] mrdigital: u wana see fast chat, go to #ubuntu :) [18:24] how in mirc/ [18:24] anyways [18:24] I dont use mirc.. read the mirc docs i guess. [18:24] mrdigital, pastebin your xorg.conf file ..I may be able to help if i see it [18:24] wait [18:24] thats why u use konversation! [18:24] why do u want my xorg.conf? [18:24] dude [18:24] i love konversation [18:25] that has nothign to do with it [18:25] but i love mirc scripting more [18:25] my TVtuner isnt being seen by lspci [18:25] calling mirc stuff 'scripting' is akin to calling.. err.. i cant think of a good enough analogy. :) [18:25] what tvtuner is it mrdigital ? [18:25] Avermedia M150 [18:25] it is scripting [18:25] now on the ubuntu forusm [18:25] theres a guy who's lspci detected it [18:26] fusermount: user has no write access to mountpoint /media/ddext . How can i solve that problem please [18:26] faissal: sudo chown user:user -R /media/ddext/ [18:27] what tv app are you trying to use , mrdigital ? [18:27] That may also depend on the filesystem thats mounted. [18:28] ScorpKing: i replace user by my username i guess ? [18:28] yes [18:28] ScorpKing: thx [18:29] linxmce [18:29] i cant even get it to detect it because lspci doesnt even know the card exists [18:30] faissal: if that does not work see in /etc/fstab if it gets mounted as onother user or something [18:30] mrdigital, that means you don't have a driver installed for the card [18:31] mrdigital: does sudo lshw | less show it? [18:32] im rebooting brb [18:34] Dr_willis: you said you use firefox.... what did you do about the file dialogs? [18:35] hm may help if the card was pushing in all the way [18:35] from years of moving it popped out a little in the back [18:36] yes! i got it [18:36] the lspci sees the tuner [18:36] congrats [18:37] now [18:37] i need to tell it what it is [18:37] Mutlimedia Controller Conextant CX23880 comes up in lspci [18:37] hey! lets try it i think it saw it [18:39] mahasamoot: I'm using not exactly KDE style file picker, but the firefox own (I believe). It's a setting in about:config, look here: http://konquefox.free.fr/#trick_filepicker [18:40] Sanne: thank you, I'll have a look [18:40] mahasamoot: the downside is it hasn't got bookmarks [18:41] mahasamoot, i dont do anything about them. [18:41] Sanne: can also add bookmarks [18:41] make a folder on the desktop with linux to fave sites [18:41] linux yeah lol linx [18:42] ... links [18:42] :) [18:42] i got my tv tuner workig [18:42] all i had to to was open the case and push down harder === neversfelde_ is now known as neversfelde [18:42] the end popped out of the slot [18:42] mrdigital: I don't mean web site bookmarks, but file system bookmarks, as you can in the kde file poicker.

[18:46] can someone please tell me what the command to install system updates is? [18:47] is it "sudo apt-get install update" ? [18:47] Dieds with scythe [18:47] sudo apt-get update [18:47] sudo apt-get update [18:47] thanks [18:47] sudo apt-get upgrade after that [18:48] How does Konqueror compare to Firefox? [18:48] ty :) [18:48] nooney: Konqueror is a great file manager compared to Firefox ;) [18:48] Firefox - only web brouser... [18:49] nooney: well there are less apges that are coded to take it into account so more breakage in rendering, apart from that it's a nice browser [18:49] HOLA [18:49] Konqueror was designed to work well with kde, faster start times because of its preloading, and you can do some really neat stuff with it === ludovic_ is now known as ludovic__ [18:50] firefox is a cross platform browser, and leaves a larger memory footprint. [18:50] Is the footprint significantly larger? [18:50] not too bad [18:50] but larger, yeah [18:50] konqueror is the app which got me back to kde after xfce, it has no equal as a file manager on any platform, that and amarok make kde the true choice of desktop enviroments ;) [18:50] * sub[t]rnl agrees [18:51] take a look at swiftweasel. [18:51] its a firefox build specificialy for linux [18:51] !es | vit__ [18:51] vit__: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [18:51] all the w32 code has been cleansed and it has builds for specific archs/processors [18:51] Cheers for the advice I'll mess around with Konquerror and see which I prefer [18:51] Im using a dell d620 latitude laptop with I945 chipset. I just got the external monitor working as well with the i810 driver for X, but direct rendering is not working.. How can I find WHY its not working? or does anybody know how to fix this?? [18:51] sub[t]rnl I'll try it out [18:52] phoenixz➜ you might need to use the "intel" driver. [18:52] In the mean time how do I install flash into Konqueror? [18:52] The latest flash updates i hear.. dont play nicely with Konqueror. [18:52] youtube is a no-no [18:52] You could try i guess.. theres a .deb package you can download/install that will isntall the latest flash [18:53] !flash [18:53] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [18:53] The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. [18:53] Guess I'll wait [18:53] That 2nd url has links to the package. Not sure how good of a fix that is.. but it has to be better then manually installing the flash from the tar.gzs [18:54] I don't like playing around with betas and tempoarary fixes [18:54] I'll try swiftweasel for now [18:54] * Dr_willis thinks that beta describes flash very well.. [18:54] :) [18:54] Dr_willis: all you have to do is cp the.so to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ [18:55] bascule, seems like theres a lot of discussion going on about the flash stuff.. so i imagine theres other issues. [18:55] youtube works in konqueror here btw. [18:55] But the thread got so long i stopped reading it. :) [18:55] flash is nasty on the whole, just stuff to ad-block, but useful too :) [18:56] anyone get the beeps thru the speakers? doooo do-do-doooooo [18:56] mrdigital: i assume thats in the bios right? [18:57] Yep - i tend to use the various flash blockers also. [18:57] no the Sound card in liinux [18:57] every distro i isntaleld has had it [18:57] theres allkinds of beeps. :) [18:57] and bleeps.. what are you refering to exactly?

[19:12] well - yeah...i mean a have a permanent mount that eventually i was able to get going that way. i guess what i am looking for is more of a one off way to do this (this is an external drive of a friends that i just need to put some data on) [19:13] so there's no way to say "mount this, avail to all users" done. unmount it..done [19:13] en donde busco los canales [19:13] try "/etc/fstab" and you will be happy [19:13] heh, ok :) [19:13] versuchs mal, vielleicht klappts [19:14] sub[t]rnl, no [19:14] versuch: noauto,user [19:14] weswh-: man fstab or man mount [19:14] besser :-) [19:14] bye! arwen!

[19:21] jimmy: have you looked for error 21 (was it is ) [19:21] ok, i added that. does that cause it to automount when the system is rebooted - or is that something different? [19:21] jimmy : in the grub manual [19:21] but i have a lot of option [19:21] if i just mount it manually now...should it take those settings, in other words. now that i've saved fstab [19:21] Error 21 means "Can not find disk". [19:21] yeah, i googled it and found advice to edit grub.conf or fstab, but I can't even get the partitions to mount in the live CD [19:21] weswh: what device do you have added? does the mount-point? [19:22] bascule/werner: yes, i found the description... and have a vague understanding. i think it's similar to boot.ini for windows [19:22] jimmy: what did you try? [19:22] jimmy51: was the first reboot after installing onto just resized partitions? [19:22] werner: i opened the disk and filesystems under system settings, and tried to get the partitions to mount through that [19:23] bascule: yes, i tried to resize the remaining space [19:23] not sure what you mean by does the mount-point? yes, i have it pointed to the intended mount location [19:23] * bascule fears the worst for the partition integrity [19:23] jimmy: try it manually in the grub-shell first [19:24] device is like "/dev/sdc4" (or what ever) and mount mount is the dir [19:24] bascule/werner: situation - 250GB Raid1 array, 32GB partition with WXP. Installed Kubuntu, told it to resize current partition to 32, use the rest of the space using guided install. when finished, next boot gave error 21 [19:24] werner: grub shell? is there a key combo to get that? [19:24] jimmy51: RAID1 done by some on board controller like nVidia of promise? [19:25] bascule: Adaptec 1210SA Sata controller [19:25] jimmy: no. boot from a grubfloppy and add grub options manually and try to boot from there!! [19:26] werner/bascule: I started a thread here - http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3090075.msg108533#msg108533 if you want to look at my "fdisk -l" output [19:26] jimmy51: i reckon that you have borked the RAID witht hat install, linux has seen two seperate drives, adaptec presents them to windows as one ... nasty [19:26] jimmy: first, define boot disk (# boot (hd0,0) or what ever) and so on .... [19:26] ooh, that makes sense [19:26] jimmy: try to find a grub manual first [19:26] fdisk shows two disks... sda and sdb [19:27] werner: i'll look up the grub disk and try to make one [19:27] bascul: good idea [19:27] jimmy51: in the BIOS setup thingy see if it feels that the raid is still healthy, it probably won't [19:27] werner: yeah, the fstab entry is correct and the supporting directory is there. but what do i need to do now? just mount the drive manually - or reboot and it will automount...or trigger an fstab refresh somehow? [19:27] jimmy: there are many manuals how to create bootfloppies for grub [19:27] bascule: i entered the raid bios, and it still says Optimal.... but linux appears to see 2 drives [19:27] !raid [19:27] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [19:28] weswh: now, with your normal user account, try to mount one more time, ok? (is it a USB-device?) [19:28] it's firewire. ah...from the user account. ok [19:29] i typed [19:29] weswh: just try to stick the device in via firewire ... mhhh [19:29] werner/bascule: am i looking at some long complex process to get kubuntu to acknowledge my RAID1? [19:29] "mount /dev/sdb1" and it said "only root can mount /dev/sdb1 on /media/firewire" [19:30] jimmy51: possibly, there is an old HOWTO based on red-hat but my knowledge of the process is weak [19:30] weswh: try it under kde without typing, just plug in ... ? [19:30] ok [19:30] bascule: i'm looking at that now.... RaidConfigurationHowTo and it looks like it would take quite a bit [19:30] jimmy: mhh... i have no experience with raid ... [19:30] jimmy51: you need to get the driver running/working for the on-board adaptec, but I still fear the worst [19:31] jimmy/bascul: mybe the exists some manuals for raid and grub? [19:31] bascule/werner: I'm pretty sure my data is toast, but that's ok. i wouldn't install on my real machine unless i knew what I was doing :) [19:31] :) [19:31] jimmy: :/ damn [19:31] it's not onboard, it's a PCI card... but it's still a low end one [19:31] werner: didn't seem to mount my unplugging/replugging the interface [19:32] jimmy51: well it is possible, but you need to do some fancy-panrs config to get it seeing the RAID volume from the card [19:32] maybe if i just do a sudo mount now it will work [19:32] weswh: mh. open a root-shell and mount it via root access; then type mount. what is the output? [19:33] werner/bascule: check this out - I have an Adaptec 1210SA SATA RAID card. Why doesn't Linux support my hardware RAID? [19:33] A. It's not hardware RAID. It is software RAID, provided by the BIOS on the card. [19:33] wesh: what does "ls -l /mountpint" say? [19:33] jimmy51: only tutes I know of are for LILO, but #grub people may know, I will search about to see what I can find, but I would accept data loss now as the superblock is probably broken beyond repair [19:33] bascule: data loss is fine with me [19:33] drwx------ 2 root root [19:33] jimmy: good question... make a new kernel with supporting modules for your raidcard .. ??? [19:34] bascule: (well, in this case anyway!) i'm just trying to learn how to do it right [19:34] wesh: ah. "chmod 0755 /mountpoint" [19:34] jimmy51: yeah there is a huge difference between true hardware RAID and most PCI cards [19:34] werner: whoa... make a new kernel? that sounds crazy [19:34] just a lost+found folder there - which was created when it was partitioned i guess...but, i don't have permissions to that [19:34] jimmy: oha. what about modules? [19:34] it's lokced [19:35] weshw: as root, change permission to execute and read/write with chmod [19:35] werner: jimmy <-- doesn't know what modules are [19:35] right. [19:35] jimmy: oh. bascule? [19:35] weshw: ls -l now? [19:35] just seems like i'm missing something here. i mean, this is the situation i'm always in...why can't i just mount with a flag for my user or something. i've tried before reading and messing with UID etc. but bleh. hang on, doing it now. [19:36] jimmy51: modules are kernel parts that can be added and removed on the fly, basically drivers [19:37] yeah...i got it now, drwxrwxrwx... [19:37] (chmod -R, btw) [19:37] chmod by itself didn't get it [19:37] "wesh: should look like : drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-10-21 12:47 sda1" [19:37] jimmy/bascule: you should look for the driver in the kernel-config ... [19:37] bascule: ahh. how would i add the support to the install CD? i plan on having my raid intact already, with an XP partition [19:37] yeah. it doesn't show me the dev location in the printout...but yeah it looks like it's all there [19:38] wesh: tried to remount it now? have you umount it before?!?! [19:38] ls -la [19:39] so that permission change should be persistent for the next time i mount it? [19:39] I have this setup and it works flawlessly with a pair of 160GB [19:39] SATA drives. [19:39] jimmy51: ^ [19:39] wesh: sure, the permission of your mount-point is fixed [19:39] from some google hit on a thread [19:40] weswh: try to mount it again? [19:40] Is there a command to simulate clicking on a file from the command line? ("open") [19:40] and maybe with those permissions it will mount from my normal user [19:40] bascule: you mean there's a google thread that will tell me how to do it? [19:40] werner: i'll try in a second - got a file copy in progress [19:40] Everytime I use Ark it tells me the extraction operation failed... [19:41] weswh: ah, ok. it should work now, i hope so :) [19:41] but it the files still seem to extract [19:41] jimmy51: no, just someone claiming theirs works, so hope remains :) [19:42] werner: thanks very much..i'll let you know [19:43] bascule: what's the link? i could look it over... [19:43] nooney: what kind of archive? [19:44] Is there a GUI easy to use AVI to DVD transcoder? [19:44] wesh: yes, please [19:44] blueyed, are you here to test ppl's response to cli questions , cuz you being an active pdpc supporter makes me think the question is some kind of test. :) [19:44] !devede | kye [19:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about devede - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [19:44] !info devede | kye [19:44] kye: devede: program to create video DVDs.

Version 2.13-0.0 (gutsy), package size 741 kB, installed size 1700 kB === Extrapan100 is now known as Extrapan100^BNC [19:45] BluesKaj: you guessed it.. ;) so, what's the answer? [19:45] jimmy51: there is no info ata ll just says it works, I am still trying to establish wether linux will ever go onto a premade mirror/stripe from the cardsd BIOS, it is lookin less likely [19:45] jimmy51: http://forums.suselinuxsupport.de/index.php?showtopic=17094 [19:46] not sure, typing the app name in the konsole, is the only one i know [19:46] blueeyed: perl-program? *gg* [19:46] IIRC windows has e.g. "start" and MacOS has "open". There must be something similar for Linux/KDE [19:46] blueeyed: or c, or c++ ? whatever === meduxa is now known as toscalix [19:46] jussi01: i've tried that and it seem'd to take over 1 hour and 30mins to convert avi to dvd i stopped it cause it was taking so long. Windows takes me 20mins for a 4.3GB dvd [19:46] werner: no, I want to open a file, e.g. "foo.txt", with the associated app. [19:47] ..just like clicking on it would do. [19:47] blueeyed: where? in kde? [19:47] anyone have any info on when the libgif/libungif conflict blocking kde4 on hardy will be resolved? [19:47] werner: yes, from konsole. [19:47] howdy [19:47] blueeyed: I thould you like to "simulat" the open process ... and read the returncodes [19:47] bascule: doh. i was hoping i just had to hold down the P key during install and it would all work :) [19:47] s/thould/thought/ [19:48] werner: tar.gz [19:49] nooney: open konsole. type " tar -xvfz FILE". maybe it works... [19:49] !find visor [19:49] Found: xen-hypervisor-3.1 [19:49] Fresh install of kubuntu 6.06 and the "su" command does not work in the terminal. Says "su: Authentication failure" after I type in the password. Any tips? [19:49] jimmy51: would be nice, but I can find no positive hits on linux acknowledging a pre-made array from the card ... [19:50] esaym: i created a user "root" with the kde user add appliction and added a superuser-password. [19:50] esaym, is your user in the "wheel" group? [19:50] let me check [19:50] bascule: yeah, that's what it's looking like. most sources I see say it's not a real raid, so the OS has to realize it is from the getgo [19:51] !compiz > blix [19:52] group "wheel" is not a group in the kubuntu 6.06 or my debian install (su works in the debian install) [19:52] maybe try adduser root? [19:52] can anyone recommend a true PCI hardware SATA raid controller? [19:53] esaym: root should exist... i think ... try to add password ... or so ... (or use debian) [19:53] 3ware [19:54] yea root exist [19:54] try to add a password with the kde systemsetting tool (or somehing?) [19:54] forgot what the change password command is. on sec [19:54] passwd [19:55] yea so "passwd root" [19:55] anyone know where all the messages are stored in kopete? .kde/kopete or something? [19:55] let me try [19:55] hi all ... having trouble installing odf-converter here ... anyone tell me why the last 2 steps of copying files don't work on the examples and is there an easy way to install it [19:55] mh. if it doesnd work try it via GUI ...

[19:57] crackhead_25: at a guess I don't use it [19:57] doing it right now [19:57] bascule: what do you use [19:57] is there something multiprotocol that is better? [19:57] contact list [19:57] crackhead_25: matter of taste really, I yse IRC ;) [19:58] bascule: do you know why sometimes using alt+tab when on firefox and switching to other things crashes firefox? [19:58] well, yes and no [19:58] mh [19:58] it didn't mount without sudo...but, when i mounted with sudo [19:58] it's all good [19:58] have you tried it with nrmal user? [19:58] crackhead_25: never seen that, flash related + some video driver most likely [19:58] whats the command in alien to convert do a .rpm file to a .deb file? also including all the .rpm files within to be converter to? [19:58] werner: yeah, that's what didn't work. it said my be root [19:59] crackhead_25: sadly version 2 of firefox is not terrible stable [19:59] bascule: do you know why sometimes if i let the screen turn to a screensaver and try to lock automatically when i come back to it there is no mouse cursor? [19:59] ok, I thought it might of been the wrong video driver or something, but I just reinstalled and I am getting a blank screen after the grub stuff [19:59] Warning: Skipping conversion of scripts in package mjpegtools: postinst postrm [19:59] Warning: Use the --scripts parameter to include the scripts. [19:59] crackhead_25: some video driver probably, what you using, ati? [19:59] (it responds to the mouse movement, but you the mouse cursor is invisible..) [19:59] i dont know exactly... how do i find out? [19:59] !module [19:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about module - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:00] weswh: mh. strange. [20:00] werner, BluesKaj: you can open urls/files with "kfmclient exec ". [20:00] crackhead_25: grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf [20:00] ok, so I pressed enter a couple times and the screen blinked and the login showed up. whats with that? [20:00] werner: yeah no biggie...i need to read up on all of it [20:00] figure out UID and stuff. [20:00] but this helped..thanks a lot [20:00] bascule: kbd, mouse, and wacom.. [20:01] what is last? [20:01] is /etc/modules the only file to start modules at boottime? [20:01] I get Driver "nvidia" [20:01] noaXess: easiest one [20:01] blueyed, my question ...errr , why would yo want to unless you like running from the TTY prompt? [20:02] werner/bascule: thanks for the advice... you've saved me a lot of time [20:02] you are welcome jimmy51 [20:02] blueeyed: thats all? (you wanted to know, I mean :) ? [20:02] jimmy: mh, sorry, bascule was the crack :-) [20:02] BluesKaj: e.g. for an action in Klipper, or if you're at the file on the Konsole already. [20:02] werner: yes. btw you may want to use tab-completion for nicks.. ;) [20:03] blueeyed: thnaks, ok [20:03] blueyed: *lol* thank you! :-) [20:04] hola [20:04] * bascule wanders to the shops for milk and stuff [20:04] * BluesKaj thinks he's lost ...what's klipper ? [20:04] blueyed: i'm just an old stupid linuxer since kernel 2.0.0 [20:05] BluesKaj: it keeps copy/paste in a place for n amount of copy/paste [20:05] BluesKaj: Klipper is a must have: it stores your clipboard history. and allows calling actions for specific content (that's what I'm trying to setup for "LP: \d+" now) [20:05] blueeyed: and tipping is more faster (but wronger) thand tabbing and scrolling (or so .. ;-) never mind, plz [20:06] hi all ... having trouble installing odf-converter here ... anyone tell me why the last 2 steps of copying files don't work on the examples and is there an easy way to install it [20:06] np, werner. But it gets not highlighted for me.

[20:06] blueyed: your world :-) [20:07] ok blueyed, bascule , thx ...i shudda known that i use copy n paste all the time , but i don't consult the klipboard klipper very often ...my old memory is kinda short :) [20:08] BluesKaj: i turn klipper off, it burns ram, just a personal choice [20:08] blueyed: but its kind o fun here [20:08] anyone here use encryption on 7.10?. [20:08] but copy npaste still works , bascule ? [20:08] ie whats the best way to encrypt a laptops drive? [20:09] there are several howto's on the community docs....but not sure which to go with [20:09] werner: looks like it, yes.. :) [20:09] blueyed: ;) [20:09] Kernel: AFAIK the alternative installer for 7.10 supports it out of the box, together with LVM if you want. [20:09] eeepc [20:10] BluesKaj: yeah, it still works, just no long history [20:10] yup, i see it does work [20:10] bye folks! [20:10] * bascule is really gone now [20:10] * werner t [20:10] o [20:10] blueyed: hmm ok. i wonder what it uses for encryption...ive read that one of the methods used(either cyrptoloop of dk-crypt i think) is vulnerable to attack [20:11] Kernel: easycrypt IIRC. Does that make sense? You should find out by googling for it. [20:11] blueyed: ok. ill google that thanks :-) [20:12] Kernel: please report back :) [20:13] blueyed: will do. on my desktop i use app called truecrypt and its awsome. but for this laptop i wanna try to encrypt the whole disk.....see how much of a performance loss i get.

[20:25] lingard: python -c 'print chr(35)' :) [20:26] pardon me? [20:26] lingard: run it in a shell [20:26] join #kontact [20:26] kenny@Kript:~$ python -c 'print chr(35)' [20:26] # [20:28] then what bascule? [20:29] lingard: nothing, it just gives you a # for futire use ;) [20:29] lol, cheers [20:29] has anyone set up wifi using a belkin card?

[20:34] something a bit more windowsy [20:35] i'm pretty sure the caard's installed as it shows up in network settings [20:35] on a working wifi, network manager, or more powerful is the airo* stuff, airodump-ng [20:35] lingard: say iwconfig in a shell [20:36] it comes up no wireless extensions [20:36] you should get some output, then right-click the network manager icon in the dock, shows the networks [20:36] lingard: no wifi working then [20:37] no wifi working or no network connected? [20:37] wlan0 IEEE 802.11b+ ESSID: <-- like that on iwconfig is a working card [20:37] ohh [20:38] it comes up with: IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"MTL" [20:38] and loads of stuff under it [20:38] just settings by the look of it [20:38] lingard: then it has tried to connect to the MTL network [20:38] but the card is working :) [20:38] so it could be the wek or default gateway? [20:39] lingard: to the left of the clock there is an icon for the manager, right click them and look for a entry for the wi-fis in range [20:41] it shows no networks in trusted or untrusted [20:42] the network tab with the signal indicator is grayed [20:44] lingard: not sure what you mean, hang on screenshot coming [20:44] ok [20:46] on the network settings i set it to auomatically get the ip from dhcp and its sellected ne in the range i've set up on the router [20:46] so it must have connected..... [20:47] lingard: well yeah [20:50] ok, i've missed the last 3 minutes [20:50] wifi wasn't connected [20:51] lingard: but it is now? [20:51] no [20:51] plugged it back in [20:52] but its produced the next valid ip in network setting [20:52] s [20:52] lingard: well re the screenshot, when I right click I see this http://img101.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=93712_snapshot1_122_797lo.jpg and I click mine, it asks the password, and away I go [20:53] i only get the wired list on mine [20:53] but there's about 4 wireless networks in range [20:54] there is a chance that networkmanager doesn't like that card [20:56] not the end of the world, we can set it to come on at boot === profoX_ is now known as profoX` [21:02] Polska biało-czerwoni!

[21:59] Jucato, I did, but it doesn't matter. I'll overwrite it [22:01] Jucato, finished. Do I have to restart to test? [22:01] hm... what else did it upgrade when you ran dpkg --configure -a? [22:02] perhaps restart KDE only [22:02] akregator, knapshot... stuff like that [22:02] yeah, kde stuff only... just need to logout and login again [22:02] I'll test. brb [22:04] Jucato, still can't start it [22:05] KCrash: Application 'systemsettings' crashing... [22:06] Schuenemann: try kcontrol [22:06] bascule, looks fine [22:06] Schuenemann: can you start systemsettings from Konsole, to see what error messages come out? [22:06] Jucato, that was already from konsole [22:07] Schuenemann: strace systemsettins [22:07] only that generic exception window. Signal 11 bla bla bla [22:07] Schuenemann: hm... weird... [22:07] 11 is seg fault, bad memory map [22:07] bascule, thousands of line [22:07] lines* [22:08] Schuenemann: yeah it's the last 50 I want, in a pastebin [22:08] this is the trace from the exception window: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50646/ [22:08] !paste [22:08] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) [22:08] cool [22:08] that is not cool [22:09] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50647/ from strace [22:10] Schuenemann: need more, las 150 [22:10] Hi!

How can i make the changes described in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/+bug/151585 [22:14] /etc/ld.so.nohwcap <-- suspicious [22:14] bascule, what does it mean? [22:15] Schuenemann: sudo touch /etc/ld.so.nohwcap [22:15] bascule, no output [22:16] now run systemsettings [22:16] bascule, same crash [22:17] Schuenemann: sudo ldconfig [22:17] then run again [22:18] hsoi [22:18] calc [22:18] the same. no output from the first, bw [22:18] btw* [22:18] Schuenemann: and systemsettings still crashes? [22:19] yeah... [22:20] How to save changes with Kate? [22:21] bascule, any more ideas? [22:21] skole: File -> Save or Ctrl+S? [22:21] any one kind enough to guide me how to use my tv tuner. (alpha tv card) ? [22:24] Jucato, is it possible to rollback all that mess? [22:24] that I'm not sure... [22:24] Jucato: It states that I don't have write permission...?

(alpha tv card) ? [22:26] Jucato, well, I'm lost. You have any ideas? [22:26] skole: and where is the file located? you might need root/super user privileges to modify that file [22:26] !tv [22:26] http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Klear (KDE), dvb-utils.

See also !TV-Out [22:26] Schuenemann: sorry :( [22:26] Schuenemann: if you remove thee added repos then do an update and dist-upgrade it will roll back, I would do it from a console, no X running for extra safety [22:26] Yes I do, but where do I state that? [22:27] bascule, you think I should do that? [22:27] I would [22:27] hang on actually [22:27] ok [22:27] Jucato: This link says what I want to do: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/+bug/151585 [22:28] skole: you have to start kate by Alt+F2, "kdesu kate"...

I can't see through konsole's window [22:30] strace -o trace.txt systemsettings [22:30] will dump to trace.txt [22:30] interesting [22:30] bah, my adept is b0rked [22:30] !aptfix [22:30] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [22:31] ok,if my boot disk is at device node /dev/sde1 , should the default grub root device be labeled groot=(hd0,0) in grub?? [22:31] sde1? [22:32] yea sde1 [22:32] (hd4,0) [22:32] I think... [22:32] * Jucato has never seen sde1 yet :) [22:33] ok, I am trying to use ktorrent, but I still have a yellow triangle, port checker says port is not open, and LL says I am not connectable. [22:33] why not hd5? [22:33] Jucato: Txs 1000 times!!!! [22:33] freexx: cause 0,1,2,3,4 is 5 values :) [22:34] http://www.linuxtv.org/ is not up and running ...what gives ? [22:34] a=0 b=1 etc? [22:34] Alonea: try the upnp plugin in plugins [22:34] Alonea: and see what firewall is running if any [22:34] bascule, the output is big, almost 400 KB [22:34] freexx: yes. and grub's hdX,X format starts with 0 instead of 1 [22:34] BluesKaj➜ looks good from here [22:34] Schuenemann: use megaupload.com, bzip2 it if you like [22:35] Alonea, if you have arouter you will proolly need to open the TCP ports listed in ktorrent [22:35] yeah, I think pastebin won't hold it [22:35] BluesKaj: I did open them. [22:36] BluesKaj: when my windows was working utorrent could do it fine. [22:36] Hi everyone... [22:36] anyone can help me, with a wifi card? [22:36] Alonea: but this is qa secure OS :) [22:36] bascule, there it is: http://www.4shared.com/file/33800907/937bb34a/trace.html [22:36] Alonea, you can run utorrent under wine as well, but i don't see the point of that , altho there those who swear by it. [22:37] bascule: qa secure? [22:37] Alonea, try Ktorrent [22:37] BluesKaj: gah....I have never gotten wine to work [22:37] it's the best Linux torrent client around. [22:37] jvcsouza: I am using ktorrent. [22:37] I ahve problem with KlamAV AutoScan, + I was not able to install "dazuko", any solution? Kernel: 2.6.22-14 [22:37] jvcsouza: thats what I am trying to get help on. [22:37] any problem? [22:37] Here works fine. [22:37] hey, i wanna view a different lang. in kubuntu (firefox) but it's only showing a bunch of wierd letters, the site is "anandabazar.com" [22:37] i wanted a v good dl manager that has resume support and mirror finding options too. (auto) any suggestions ? [22:37] Alonea: upnp plugin from ktorrent didnt work? [22:37] jvcsouza: its not seeing that the ports are open. [22:38] Alonea, the ports used on utorrent are different than ktorrent ...and being linux it takes abit more hands on [22:38] Greenery: that thing has NEVER worked on my computer. and the ports are indeed open. [22:38] load upnp plugin. [22:38] upnp plugin in ktorrent can detect ports and make some portfowarding. [22:39] BluesKaj: I know that. had linux for quite a while. been dual booting. also, using port 59749. [22:39] U can see it in settings.. plugins [22:39] Alonea: typo [22:39] jvcsouza: I tried it. doesn't appear to do anything. [22:39] Schuenemann: how do I download it? all the links seem circular to me ... [22:39] whats the best way to copy all my settings to a clean install [22:39] There is a button to re-scan the ports, did u try this? [22:39] i know i need my home but what about otherstuff [22:40] bascule, after a few seconds, a download links appears above the comment form [22:40] a table appears and the link is there, actually [22:40] i wanted a v good dl manager that has resume support and mirror finding options too. (auto) any suggestions ? [22:41] jvcsouza: yes. I click on either of the connections and say to forward and nothing happens. I have forwarded my ports manually for years. dunno whats going on [22:41] Hi, I have kubuntu installed on a separate box I would like to be able to set it up so that I can connect to the machine though my xp machine. [22:42] hmmmm strange.... maybe u're behind a too restrictive firewall... or ur router dosent support upnp... [22:42] wtf, how do I make fglrx use the right resolution? [22:42] no matter what I tell it, it always sets 1280x10245 [22:42] or upnp support on it is disabled. [22:42] try to enable upnp support in ur router. [22:42] help please? [22:42] jvcsouza: it is enabled. [22:43] Say Alonea, u can do downlaods using ktorrent? [22:43] Alonea, there is no 59749 port required in my version of ktorrent , the ports required on the version I use are 6881 and 8080 [22:43] jvcsouza: I can download and upload, but I am not "connectable" [22:44] huh, what is this connectable? [22:44] BluesKaj: there shouldn't be any port required and generally you dont want to use 6881.. [22:44] BluesKaj: the port is for other people to connect to you. you should be able to use whatever you want. [22:45] yes but ktorrent uses those ports for a reason ...they work ! :) [22:45] BluesKaj: but those ports are usually blocked by the isp now [22:45] bascule, perhaps I should send you? like e-mail [22:45] you want help or do you just want to argue ? [22:45] gawd [22:45] fight! === gryc is now known as grycAFK === grycAFK is now known as gryc [22:46] BluesKaj: I dont want to use those ports for security reasons. I think I will try utorrent under wine. [22:46] hmmm sorry I don't have a clue... [22:46] this person askes for help but doesn't try the suggestions ...what can we do ? [22:46] Yes. Try Azurerus if u have Java installed, its a bit heavy... [22:46] but also have a lot of features. [22:47] and it's cross plataform. [22:47] I have problem with KlamAV AutoScan, + I was not able to install "dazuko", any solution? Kernel: 2.6.22-14 [22:47] also a good torrent solution. [22:47] is there a bash command to append a const string to each line of a file? [22:47] like $bsh_cmd "My String" < file [22:47] it ktorrent doesn't work for u, azurerus dosent work, then utorrent will not work either, even in real Windows. [22:47] ?? [22:48] Seriosly, if u want real secure sistem u cant use torrent, no matter what OS ur running. [22:48] yayy [22:48] or some piping hack that can do it? [22:48] dude [22:48] torrent = bad [22:48] Torrent is nice if u know how to use. [22:49] the whole idea of torrent is bad [22:49] I dont see this way. [22:49] ok [22:49] if noone seeded [22:49] you woul dhave no torrent [22:49] and [22:49] to seed, you are uploading to anonymous computers [22:49] a government compuiter could come download from a seed [22:49] and then bam you are busted [22:50] freexx: torrenting isn't illegal worldwide. [22:50] Schuenemann: no I have it, try deleteing /var/tmp/* [22:50] so the only way to be safe is to not seed [22:50] busted for using torrent? that is stupid [22:50] and if noone seeds then noone can download files [22:50] Yes, that's about true. But, The problem is not THE tecnology its people. [22:50] torrenting isnt illegal anywhere [22:50] Alonea, is it illegal SOMEWHERE? [22:50] bypassing copyright is illegal [22:50] They cannot prohibit u from sharing data. [22:51] Yes right, but if I'm uploading a opensource software that I made [22:51] torretn technology is used to jam networks [22:51] yeah, redistributing copyright material without permission is a crime in most countries [22:51] what's the problem? [22:51] Schuenemann: I guess its not in America, though they try to say it is. [22:51] Schuenemann: its more of which law you look at... [22:51] Yes right, but if I'm uploading a opensource software that I made [22:51] what's the problem? [22:51] which countries of america? [22:52] wellits godo for open source but.. [22:52] Yes. [22:52] jvcsouza: then you have nothing to fear [22:52] people like comcast fuck up torrent traffic [22:52] Schuenemann: er. USA. [22:52] bascule, it gave me a bigger output this time, but the same exception [22:52] I use to get Linux systens. [22:52] can anyway help with enabling remote access [22:52] adm-b01: [22:52] Schuenemann: delete /var/tmp/* again and restart X [22:52] you mean to ssh into your machine? [22:52] don't use for getting coprighted material. [22:53] hey guys, i've downloaded the live CD twice from different locations and their md5 sums are equal to each other, but not equal to what they should be? [22:53] sudo apt-get install ssh , then type ifconfig and get your ip address, or google "whats my ip" then in a terminal type ssh yourusername@your.ip.address [22:53] sub[t]rnl, http://www.linuxtv.org/ ..looks good from where? , cuz it won't load here , Canada [22:53] bascule, look at this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50651/ [22:54] you may have to go into your router and foward port 22 [22:54] will that allow me to connect to the box before logging into the machine ? [22:54] gn8 [22:54] 22:52 < bascule> Schuenemann: delete /var/tmp/* again and restart X [22:55] ok [22:55] helloyo: how did you calculate them? [22:57] ok, why does adept say that everything fails even though it actually install it successfully? [22:57] bascule, I restarted,l but got the same error [22:58] :( [22:58] anyone able to load this site , http://www.linuxtv.org/ ? [22:58] bascule: through k3b, then through md5sum [22:58] BluesKaj: yes [22:58] helloyo: pretty conclusive :) [22:58] not here Jucato [22:58] :P [22:58] Where could i find this file: qt.h [22:59] bascule: seems strange that the two sources gave the same incorrect md5sum, i think i'll risk it and run it anyway [22:59] Flare183: Qt development headers and files [22:59] Schuenemann: well you could submit a launchpad bug to the devels and attach that trace, it is beyond me for now [22:59] helloyo: I would [22:59] Jucato: and which package is that? [22:59] Flare183: if it's for Qt 3, that would be in the package libqt-mt-dev [22:59] !info libqt-mt-dev [22:59] Package libqt-mt-dev does not exist in gutsy [22:59] !info libqt3-mt-dev [22:59] libqt3-mt-dev: Qt development files (Threaded). In component main, is optional. Version 3:3.3.8really3.3.7-0ubuntu11.1 (gutsy), package size 47 kB, installed size 168 kB [22:59] Jucato: thank you [22:59] bascule, can you repeat how to rollback? [22:59] Flare183: libqt3-mt-dev [23:00] (if it's for Qt 4, libqt4-dev I think) [23:01] someone please help, fglrx refuses to run at the right resolution [23:01] my eyes are starting to fry [23:02] Arwen, running the default restricted driver ? [23:02] Schuenemann: remove the apt sources you added for the 3.5.8 packages and apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade [23:03] BluesKaj, no, v7.12 [23:03] and that's besides the point [23:03] bascule, thanks [23:03] !resolution | Arwen [23:03] Arwen: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [23:03] bascule, but, for example, it installed mplayer 1.3. Won't it remove mplayer entirely, not downgrade to 1.2? [23:03] no, don't give me links to non-functioning tutorials, give me an answer [23:04] i believe it will downgrade, but I may be wrong ... it's not something I have done, I am hoping for a != logic rather than a > gets left ... [23:04] damn [23:05] I'll never upgrade KDE again [23:05] hi@all [23:05] yay! utorrent in wine works perfectly. w00t [23:05] anyone knows german kubuntu chat [23:05] !de [23:05] Arwen: well, well, talk me through the steps from the tutorial ypu have triead and paste /etc/X11/xorg.conf for me in pastebin [23:05] Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [23:06] bascule, I haven't tried any because none are relevant [23:06] Arwen: oh, and you know this? [23:06] my modeline is set to "1440x900", but the resolution is locked to 1280x1024 [23:06] yes, I DO know this [23:06] modeline, oldhat === master3000 is now known as sda [23:06] I am using fglrx 7.12 (note that fglrx is not in there anywhere) [23:06] Arwen, if you're running the ATI fglrx latest proprietaery driver recommended for your card , then it prolly will work only partly , some of the so called updated drivers son't always do the roght res with some graphics card/monitor combinations [23:07] right resolutions [23:07] so, should I give up on fglrx or downgrade? [23:07] bascule, question: I added the repository to KDE 3.5.8. Should I've removed the repo to 3.5.7? (I didn't) [23:07] Arwen, I don't call it a downgrade if the think works better than the new one :) [23:08] Schuenemann: well if 3.5.7 worked, all will be well, incidentally are you on kubuntu? [23:08] but that's what I had to do [23:08] BluesKaj, do you think I should go back to pre-AIGLX patches? [23:08] bascule, yes, but let me clarify: Maybe having both versions while upgrading caused this mess? [23:08] BluesKaj, or just roll back a version [23:08] which card Arwen ? [23:09] X300SE [23:09] Schuenemann: depends on apt logic [23:09] bascule, yeah, of course hehe. I thought you knew about it, nevermind :) [23:10] Arwen, I have the X200G and the 8.37 default restricted driver works quite well, altho google earth is a bit clunky [23:10] ok, will roll back then [23:10] thanks for the *thoughtful* advice [23:11] Arwen, NP [23:11] (rebooting) [23:11] :) [23:11] almost a flame fest [23:13] bascule, I'll install kubuntu-desktop. I'm desperate, anyway :-) [23:13] Schuenemann: that was something I was wondering [23:13] and kdebase and kdeaddons [23:14] humm [23:14] I have to install gutsy... [23:14] ? [23:14] Schuenemann: well that is a tried and tested upgrade path [23:14] later heh. I'm still with feisty [23:15] BluesKaj, it worked, thanks. You're a godsend. [23:15] glad it was resolved :) [23:15] does anyone know what happend to ubuntu-base and linux-686 in Gutsy 7.10 ? [23:16] Arwen, cool :) [23:16] hmm, fglrx still has that weird diagonal tearing issue [23:17] ah well, you win some you lose some [23:17] nbogdanoff: 686 was decided to be surpless to requirements [23:17] in my opinion, smirnoff ice is the best invention since the wheel [23:18] bascule: ok. thanks. im trying to setup raid as this link mentions": http://www.ubuntu-in.org/wiki/SATA_RAID_Howto but am unable to install the base system cos those packages dont exis anymore [23:18] any suggestiosn [23:18] yeah Arwen , I have a jerky slow google earth , supposed to be fixed on new Hardy release ...but I won't hold my breath [23:19] hi I am trying to install ssh using sudo apt-get install ssh [23:19] nbogdanoff- you'd probably want either -i386 or -generic [23:19] nbogdanoff: got dmraid in? [23:20] adm-b01- client or server? [23:20] yeah BluesKaj , overall, gutsy fails to impress me [23:20] client but it is asking me for the disc which i have not got now [23:20] they never fixed that issue with the ttys either [23:20] <-- insists on using the 64 bit Gutsy since I'm on an AMD64 bit CPU ...dunno if i'm being stubborn/stupid but ... shrug :P [23:20] BluesKaj- yes [23:20] Arwen, agreed [23:20] bascule: yeah i get all the way down to the apt-cdrom add and it wont recognize the cd point [23:21] adm-b01- you probably still have the CD in your sources list [23:21] sources list ? [23:22] adm-b01- in Adept, go to Adept -> Manage Repositories [23:22] adm-b01- then check the Third Party tab [23:23] will have a look thanks [23:23] nbogdanoff: sorry, dunno. But I was chatting earlier with some guy who had adaptes PCI RAID, told him it wouldn't work, there is a start at least :) [23:23] adpatec [23:23] BBIAB , gotta check something === pfein is now known as pfein-away [23:27] I have done this but I do not know what to do next [23:30] can any one help me with a aplha tv tuner Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7130 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev 01) [23:31] hola [23:32] hi [23:32] roselyn de venezuela [23:32] saludos [23:32] quien por alla [23:32] ?

[23:39] ogre: No [23:39] ogre: I will wait... until KDE4 is stable [23:39] I was wondering if anyone can give me a hand getting a tv card of mine to work ? [23:40] ogre, no, I just upgraded to 3.5.8 and it messed everything here [23:40] ogre: yes, i use it. [23:40] fdoving: does it work? [23:40] sourcemaker: yep, i've been using it as my primary environment for weeks. [23:41] fdoving: from the kubuntu hardy package ? or compiled yourself? [23:41] sourcemaker: self-compiled from svn. [23:42] fdoving: how did the qt3 -> qt4 bit go? [23:42] that's the bit I am scared of [23:42] bascule: pretty nice, they already co-exist on any kubuntu system, so that's not a problem at all. [23:42] fdoving: well I never knew that, thanks [23:43] bascule: when it comes to kde3 -> kde4, i made KDE4 use ~/.kde4 so i copied over wallets and bookmarks and made new settings for most things. [23:43] what is kubuntus default download manager? [23:43] Voyage_: i guess it is using the kio-thing, you can however get kget.
